For example, the excise on cigarettes will increase from 58 to 61 euros per thousand units, while the minimum tax obligations will rise from 78 to 82 euros.
Additionally, an increase in prices for tobacco heating products is expected, however, the price of alcohol will remain unchanged. Motorists will feel the rise in fuel excises, which will lead to increased prices for gasoline and diesel.
