Purchases in Europe now limited to 50 cigars
In the name of "public health" and "support for tobacconists", MEPs lower the purchasing thresholds in neighboring countries for all types of tobacco.
The National Assembly passed an amendment this Wednesday, July 8, in favor of a reduction in authorized tobacco purchases in the countries of the European Union (and Andorra).
The new regulation amends article 575 I of the General Tax Code. It is included in the second amending finance bill 2020 and now sets the threshold above which the purchase is considered not for personal consumption at 50 cigars (instead of 200).
The Minister of Public Accounts Olivier Dussopt put forward "an objective of public health" and "support for tobacconists". It is also, he says, about "combating contraband tobacco."
In the explanatory memorandum, the text recalls the price differences between France and its neighbors on tobacco products: + 65% with Andorra, + 50% with Spain, + 45% with Luxembourg, + 35% with Germany and Belgium.
The cross-border purchasing thresholds are lowered for all categories of tobacco: cigarillos (100 instead of 400), cigarettes (1 cartridge instead of 2), roll-your-own tobacco, etc.
