HMRC published retailer-facing guidance on 9 July 2026.

The guidance explains what is required of both retailers and wholesalers for Vaping Products Duty and the Vaping Duty Stamps scheme. Retailers can find this guidance by searching “Handling wholesale or retail vaping products in the UK” on GOV.UK.
