Under the amendments to the Law on Excise Duty, specific excise duty on cigarettes will increase from LTL 157 to LTL 166.01 (EUR 48.08) per 1,000 cigarettes. Concurrently, the minimum combined excise rate per 1,000 cigarettes will need to be no less than EUR 77.91 (LTL 269). The current rate stands at LTL 256. The rate for cigars and cigarillos will increase from LTL 93 to LTL 96.99 (EUR 28.09) per kilo.
