Canadian Excise Duty (Vape Tax) Coming January 1st
Background of Vaping Excise Tax
In June of 2022, a vaping excise tax was approved by our Federal government. This tax goes into effect on October 1, 2022, and applies to any manufactured vaping products. This tax will be added to all vaping products containing e-liquid, including pods, disposables, and all e-liquid bottles for sale across Canada. As described by the Federal government: “The excise duty applies to vaping substances that are manufactured in Canada or imported and that are intended for use in a vaping device in Canada”.
New Pricing in Canada
From Mid of November, the SRP of 2-packed will be about CAD$15.99, single packed will be about CAD$7.99.

When will the price increase?
We expect that sell the RELX Pod Pro at the new price with the excise stamps from 2023.01.01.
Will the device price increase?
The price of device will not increase.
What is the tax stamps?
The stamps are identical to the tax stamps you currently see in Canada on tobacco, e-cig vaping and e-liquid products. Here is an example of an excise stamp you will begin to see on our vaping products containing e-liquid.
Why was the pod price increased to CAD$15.99/CAD$7.99?
Despite the additional work and expense of ordering, shipping, protecting, inventorying, and applying these vape excise stamps, RELX is committed to maintaining our product prices as they were prior to the tax. The new vaping tax accounts for the entire increase in our product pricing. We are not raising our prices to cover our increased production and manufacturing costs.
