Sweden's 2027 tobacco excise amounts are fixed. SFS 2026:1863, issued on 5 November and published on 10 November 2026, sets the recalculated duty for calendar year 2027Svenskforfattningssamling under 2 kap. 11 § lagen (2022:155) om tobaksskatt
Svenskforfattningssamling. The ordinance enters into force on 1 January 2027
Svenskforfattningssamling and follows 2025:885, the previous annual ordinance on the subject.
The six amounts apply for the whole of calendar 2027Svenskforfattningssamling. Cigarettes carry 2 kronor 9 öre per stick
Svenskforfattningssamling. Cigars and cigarillos carry 1 krona 84 öre per stick
Svenskforfattningssamling. Smoking tobacco carries 2,542 kronor per kilogram
Svenskforfattningssamling. Snus carries 438 kronor per kilogram
Svenskforfattningssamling. Chewing tobacco carries 602 kronor per kilogram
Svenskforfattningssamling. Other tobacco carries 2,542 kronor per kilogram
Svenskforfattningssamling — the same per-kilo amount as smoking tobacco.
The recalculation rests on 2 kap. 11 § lagen (2022:155) om tobaksskatt, which empowers the government to fix the yearly amounts; the six-item list — cigarettes, cigars and cigarillos, smoking tobacco, snus, chewing tobacco and other tobacco — is the whole tobacco catalogue for 2027Svenskforfattningssamling. The per-stick and per-kilo split matters for billing and excise returns: cigarettes, cigars and cigarillos are taxed per item, while smoking tobacco, snus, chewing tobacco and other tobacco are taxed by weight. The new amounts are the rates for calendar year 2027 from 1 January
Svenskforfattningssamling, replacing the 2026 figures
Svenskforfattningssamling. Because the ordinance states the amounts for the calendar year 2027 with entry into force on 1 January, there is no phased introduction within the year.
The cutover is a single date. Because the ordinance fixes the amounts for calendar year 2027 with a 1 January entry into force and states no transition, 2027 runs on the new per-stick and per-kilo amountsSvenskforfattningssamling. Anyone applying tobacco duty for 2027 should work from the updated öre and krona figures.
Legal basis is SFS 2026:1863 setting the recalculated amounts under 2 kap. 11 § lagen (2022:155) om tobaksskatt for calendar year 2027, entering into force 1 January 2027.
