From 1 October 2026, a new UK “Va**ng Products Duty” will add 22p per ml (that’s £2.20 per 10ml) to all e-liquids, including shortfills and ni****ne‑free juice, on top of existing VAT.
This means bigger bottles and high-usage va**rs will see the largest price jump, while devices, coils and empty pods are not taxed under the new rules.
The Red V**e guide explains what’s changing, which products are affected, how much more you’re likely to pay, and how UK va**rs can prepare before the October 2026 start date (for example, budgeting, switching formats, or stocking up sensibly).
It also stresses that nothing is being banned – flavours and liquids remain legal – but the way va**ng is taxed is changing dramatically, so understanding the new duty now will help you stay in control later.
