The Nation Strengthen the Excise Tariffs

Indonesia – The Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI) adulated Finance Minister’s Decree Number 192/2021 on Excise Tariffs for Tobacco Products, like Cigarettes, Cigars, Leaf Cigarettes, and Tobacco Slices, as it could shield buyers from drugs, including tobacco.

In view of this, For what reason do we invite this? It is on the grounds that the cigarette extract charge was forced to shield purchasers and furthermore expected ones from openness to drugs, like tobacco. This is what YLKI Daily Executive Chairman Tulus Abadi expressed when reached.

Along with this, the increment in cigarette costs, Abadi is hopeful that buyers would have the option to decrease cigarette utilization. As indicated by Abadi, the cigarette extract ought to be expanded, as the cost of cigarettes in Indonesia is among the least expensive on the planet.

Conseqiently, The cigarette excise in Indonesia is currently the lowest in the world, and the price is also the cheapest in the world. Apart from the increase in cigarette excise, the high retail cigarette sales also raise concerns that should be addressed.

Not only that, Despite a 12-percent increase in cigarette excise, if cigarettes are sold per stick, the average consumer can still buy cigarettes in sticks for less than Rp2,000. Thus, the average consumer can buy cigarettes for Rp1,900 per stick.

Looking back, the nation has seen, the YLKI has urged the government to prohibit the sale of cigarettes in retail. For this reason, Cigarette is a product that is subject to excise duty and is a poisonous or addictive substance. However, these cigarettes are sold in retail like how we buy fried peanut or candy. Regardless of the extract climb, Ahmad expects the income from tobacco extract in 2022 to be lower than 2021 when the extract income had outperformed its objective and arrived at Rp193 trillion, the leader chief noted.
