Taxing question of curbs on tobacco smuggling
GCC health ministers last month endorsed the call for a 100 per cent increase in customs duties on tobacco products.
There are two important issues related to imposing higher taxes on tobacco. The first is the need to avoid sudden, large tax rises that would lead to an increase in illicit trade. The other is that we must not let that illegal trade provide finance to organised crime groups and terrorist organisations.
