If the excise is going up 25% is that not 25% of €8 or 25% of whatever the current excise is ??

Somehow dont see us getting away with a 25c increase

Does it mean that the taxation on them goes from 21% to 25% or does it mean that we'll have to pay 10 euro a pack?

I'm already bookin the ticket to go to Italy and get a stock...

Actually, my bad, it seems the official reports are reading it as 25% increase on the excise, which is about 10% overall cost increase. Wouldn't blame you going abroad otherwise.

So how much exactly will a pack cost?? 25c more or 25% more?

In terms of retention, an extra 25c and 50c would pretty much be the same, wouldn't it?

Nope:

The Excise Duty on a packet of 20 cigarettes will be increased by 25 cent (including VAT) with a pro-rata increase on other tobacco products, with effect from midnight on 7 April 2009.

I gave up 6 weeks ago, after years smoking, in expectation of this lads.
You can do it too.

If your not a complete windbag, then make a protest and give them up.

McConkey

Probably just changed it on website...I heard 25% increase from current excise rate but RTE have just said its 25c and not 25% onto excise

mandandpeter

well when we rewound it on RTE with Sky+ it did say 25% but i am sure it will eventually get sorted out and the correct figure will be known.


Just looked now!! Now its says 25 cent *cries* my head is spininning!
