Is the Increase in Cigarette Excise Tax in 2023 a Green Light to Start a Vape Business?

Shopify API - 26 May 2023

Vapeboss – The Ministry of Finance has decided to increase the excise duty on tobacco products (CHT), or cigarette excise, starting January 1, 2023. The regulation regarding the CHT rate increase is stipulated in Ministry of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 192/PMK.010/2022 concerning Amendments to PMK Number 193/PMK.010/2021 concerning Excise Duty Rates for Tobacco Products in the form of Electronic Cigarettes and Other Processed Tobacco Products.

Sri Mulyani stated that the policy adjustment of CHT rates had considered macroeconomic aspects, especially amidst the domestic economic situation, which continues to strengthen during the national economic recovery period. Its impact on the Indonesian economy is expected to contribute to national inflation.

"The average CHT increase of 10% is estimated to cause an inflation increase in the range of 0.1 - 0.2 percentage points, so the impact on economic growth and employment is also estimated to be relatively small," explained Sri Mulyani.

Starting a vape business is indeed becoming more popular and attracting many people, especially with the rising price of cigarettes due to excise increases. Thus, the vape business has promising prospects for those who want to try it. Even from the experience of entrepreneurs who entered this business earlier, they say they can generate tens of millions of rupiah in turnover every month from a single store.

As a business, the vape business has its own advantages compared to other businesses. This can be a good added value for those of you who are considering a business idea to be run seriously. Some of the advantages of the vape business are:

Varied products, The first advantage of the vape business that can make it a lucrative venture is the abundance of vape products and variants to sell. One of the vape products regularly purchased by consumers is liquid. Liquid is useful for creating flavor when applied to a vape mod or e-cigarette.

Liquid bottles themselves come in a variety of unique flavors such as chocolate, mango, blueberry, vanilla, tiramisu, and other flavors. Thus, you can determine the type of product and the price range of the product you will sell.

More reseller-friendly, Anyone can become a reseller of vape products if they have minimal and limited capital. The vape business is known for its friendliness towards product resellers. Many large vendors or distributors can be invited to cooperate to get lower prices.

So, as a new entrepreneur, you will be greatly helped by this convenience. What you need to do is find out the contact or address of the distributor or vendor. Through various sources such as information on the internet, social media, or through people who work there.

Extensive community network and loyal customers, The last advantage of the vape business in this discussion is the existence of an extensive community network and loyal consumer habits. With the presence of the vape trend in society, it encourages people to establish vape communities in Indonesia. Currently, vape communities have sprung up and developed in many cities.

With an increasingly widespread community, the vape product itself will automatically become more known to vape business owners. In addition, vape is also known for its loyal customers.

They are willing to spend millions of rupiah to indulge their fondness for various types of vape products. In fact, some of them become addicts and cannot be separated from vaping in their daily lives.
