  烟草在线据《国际烟草杂志》报道编译  《每日自由报》报道,根据4年内每年将卷烟消费税提高一次的规定,首次提税从12月1开始,每包卷烟的消费税上提12.5%,预计会使每包卷烟的平均价格提高至20澳元(13.4欧元)。

  上提消费税的计划在今年8月宣布,目的是通过在4年内筹集大约53亿澳元来帮助平衡预算。澳大利亚政府在8月表示,筹集的资金也将被用于阻止青年人吸烟,以及支付与吸烟有关的疾病的医疗费用。随后几次12.5%的提税,计划在未来三年的9月1日开始实施。

  《每日自由报》援引的癌症协会的研究认为,如果烟草价格上涨15%,会有近三分之二的吸烟者尝试戒烟。

Australia: Quadruple-punch Tax Hikes Begin

  Excise tax on a pack of cigarettes rose 12.5 per cent from 1 Dec under the first of four annual tobacco-tax hikes expected to raise the average pack price to AUD 20 (EUR 13.40), the Daily Liberal reported.

  The excise tax plan was announced in August to help balance the budget by raising an estimated AUD 5.3 billion over four years. Funds also would be used to deter young people from smoking and paying medical costs of smoke-related diseases, the government said in August. Subsequent 12.5 per cent increases are planned for 1 Sept in the next three years.

  Cancer Council research cited by the Daily Liberal held nearly two-thirds of smokers would try to quit if the price of tobacco increased 15 per cent. Enditem
