Niger profile on tobacco taxation : adopt a more effective taxation and better inform tobacco products prevalence
2018
Consortium for Economic and Social Research (CRES)
The share of tobacco products in the total tax revenue of the country is low. Niger does not produce cigarettes but raw leaf tobacco in the Maradi and Agadez regions. Although tobacco products are among the most heavily taxed products, with the method of taxation ad valorem, tax increases are not always passed on to the selling price by the tobacco industry. The policy brief recommends an exclusive survey of adult tobacco use, and to change the tax base of tobacco products. In Niger, statistics on the prevalence of smoking are out-dated, and no specific nationwide survey has been undertaken to collect information from adults.
