The World Health Organization's (WHO) "Technical Manual on Tax Administration Act" (2010) has recommended that tobacco excise taxes should account for at least 70 percent of the retail prices for tobacco products.
Nadda said as per the information received from the Finance Ministry, there is no proposal under consideration as of now to introduce a uniform taxation structure on cigarettes which covers all lengths and does not allow for product substitution of higher taxed cigarette lengths with lower taxed cigarette lengths.
