Vape Tax Coming in 2026? What You Need to Know – Especially If You Vape in Guernsey

The vaping world is buzzing with new updates, and if you’re a regular vaper in the UK or Guernsey, there’s something important you should know. A new vape liquid tax is coming soon, and it could affect what you pay at checkout.

Here’s a simple breakdown of what’s happening, what it means for you, and how Greet Vape, UK’s leading online vape shop, is helping you stay ahead of the game. Let’s dive in.

Guernsey’s top political group, the Policy & Resources Committee (P&R), is currently thinking about adding a tax on vape liquids as part of the island’s 2026 budget. This isn’t just an idea anymore; they’re actively discussing it, with the official budget expected to be released on October 7, 2025, and debated on November 4. So far, they haven’t locked in any rates, but they’re watching the UK closely.

In case you missed it, the UK government is already planning a vape liquid tax starting October 2026. The tax will be £2.20 per 10ml of vaping liquid, which means if you’re buying a typical 50ml shortfill, expect to pay an extra £11 just in tax. That’s quite a jump for many vapers, especially those who DIY their e-liquid or go through bottles quickly.

Guernsey isn’t officially part of the UK, but it often aligns with UK policies. The new P&R President, Deputy Lindsay de Sausmarez, says she’s looking for more ways to increase government revenue, and vape taxes are now on the table. A consultation meeting is being planned for retailers to talk about:

• Possible tax rates
• How could it affect vape shops
• What does it mean for everyday vapers

This means local vape prices in Guernsey could rise, especially for imported e-liquids.

Guernsey isn’t stopping at taxes. Earlier this year, their government also passed new rules on vaping, including a ban on selling vapes to anyone under 18. They’re also concerned about how vapes are marketed, especially toward younger people. So if you’ve noticed less flashy packaging or fruity names disappearing, this is probably why. The UK is doing something similar. Flavoured disposable vapes might soon be restricted nationwide, and stricter rules on packaging and advertising are on the way.

Let’s be real, no one likes paying more for their vapes. But these tax changes are looking more and more certain for 2026. That means:

• Now’s a great time to stock up before prices go up in the next year or two.
• You may want to switch to more budget-friendly options, like shortfills or long-lasting refillable kits.
• Buying from trusted online shops like Greet Vape ensures you're getting authentic products before price hikes kick in.
