In the case of rolling tobacco, the proportion was around 50%. With the 2024 tax increase, the price of cigarettes in the Netherlands increased by 24% and that of rolling tobacco by 45%. And in May, more than 20 million more were found, along with some 3,700 kilos of rolling tobacco, in Brabant, also in the south. RecommendationsIn 2023, there was another tax increase, but it wasn’t as high: 11% for cigarettes and 28% for tobacco. On the one hand, it should take “more measures against cross-border purchases,” because now you can bring four cartons of cigarettes, one kilo of rolling tobacco, 200 cigars, and 400 cigarillos into the country.
