💡 How UK VPD Works
From 1 October 2026, the UK imposes a Vaping Products Duty (VPD) of £2.20 per 10ml of e-liquid ( £0.22 per ml). This applies to all vaping products containing nicotine, including disposables, pods, and e-liquids. VAT at 20% is charged on top of the duty.
⚠️ Impact on Profit Margins
A 2ml disposable currently costing £4.50 wholesale will incur £0.53 in tax (duty + VAT), increasing your cost by ~12%. A 50ml shortfill will see a £13.20 tax increase — a significant impact on pricing. Use our Profit Calculator to model your new pricing strategy.
🇨🇦 Canada Comparison (for reference)
Canada's federal vaping duty (since 2024) uses a tiered structure: first 10ml = $5.60 CAD ($1.12 per 2ml), each additional 10ml = $1.12 CAD. The UK's flat £0.22/ml is simpler but can be more expensive for larger volumes. A 60ml bottle: UK = £13.20 duty vs Canada = $7.84 CAD (~£4.60) duty.
