Excise Tax Rates

The following tax rates are in effect as of January 1, 2025

Provincial and federal tax formula for participating provinces, the calculation is based on the volume of e-liquid and is doubled for the provincial portion. The federal portion of the tax, and therefore the provincial portion, is calculated as:

• $1.12 per 2 mL (or fraction thereof) for the first 10 mL of liquid.
• $1.12 per 10 mL (or fraction thereof) for amounts over the initial 10 mL. 

For solid vaping substances, the same rate applies per gram.Calculation examplesThe calculation is applied to each individual container or pod, not the total quantity in a multi-pack.

• For a 30 mL bottle:Federal tax: $5.60 for the first 10 mL + $1.12 for each additional 10 mL ($2.24) = $7.84.Provincial tax (matching federal): $7.84.Total tax: $7.84 + $7.84 = $15.68.
• For a 20 mL disposable vape:Federal tax: $5.60 for the first 10 mL + $1.12 for the second 10 mL = $6.72.Provincial tax (matching federal): $6.72.Total tax: $6.72 + $6.72 = $13.44.
