From October 2, the cost of alcoholic beverages in Ukraine has increased from 5% to 20%. This is reported by ZN.UA.
According to the government decree, the minimum wholesale selling vodka prices were increased by 19.5% (by UAH 52.33) per 1 liter of pure alcohol, retail prices by 12.4 (by UAH 49.24). Thus, the price for 0.5 liters of vodka will go up to UAH 89.4, and a bottle of dry wine will cost at least UAH 42; fortified wines and vermouths will cost up to UAH 49 per bottle; the cost of champagne will increase by 12.4% (approximately UAH 89). In addition, whiskey, gin and rum will rise by 12%, brandy price will increase by 7-9% (a 4-star drink will cost up to UAH 139, and a 5-star drink up to UAH 152).
It is noted that the increase of the minimum price for alcohol is associated with an increase in the cost of the components, in particular the prices for alcohol, packaging and production. The next rise in the price of alcohol is expected from January 1, 2019, when excise taxes will be increased by 9%.
As The Journalist reported, the Ukrainian Parliament proposed to set an excise tax on electronic cigarettes.
