APVI Has No Problem with Excise Tax Being Imposed on Vape Products

Shopify API - 23 March 2022

Hello Bigboss! How are you today? Hope you're always healthy, your sustenance is smooth, and all your activities are made easy!

Aryo Andrianto, Chairman of the Indonesian Personal Vaporizer Association (APVI), stated that he has no problem with excise stamps being affixed to various vape products. For him, there are indeed advantages and disadvantages, but it does not overly burden the vape product itself.

"Indeed, there are pros and cons, but as entrepreneurs and an association, we certainly have no problem with the imposition of excise duty on vape products," said Aryo.

According to Aryo, with excise stamps, consumers will be more confident in buying vape products. Because for them, these products are legal, standardized, and quality-guaranteed.

"So, with electric cigarette products having excise duty, at least customers will no longer doubt that the goods are fit for distribution and consumption by the wider community," he asserted.

Based on data owned by APVI, some 120 vape businesses in Indonesia are now registered and have excise duty.

Since the 12 percent excise tax increase started last January, Aryo admitted that APVI was slightly affected by the policy. However, Aryo emphasized that the impact of the excise tax increase was not too significant because vapers or electric cigarette users have their own communities.

"Alhamdulillah, so far vape has its own community, so it doesn't really feel the impact of the policy," he explained.

Therefore, Aryo hopes that the government will clarify regulations for vaporizer products so that the domestic vape industry can continue to grow and contribute significantly to the country.

"We realize that the Vape industry in Indonesia has only been around for about eight years. However, its regulations have only been in effect for the past three years. And the rules are minimal. We hope that in the future, these rules can support the Vape industry in Indonesia," he concluded.
