Decatur vape tax regulation: vape tax 5-10 cents per milliliter

According to Fox54, the Decatur City Council has voted to pass a new regulation taxing vaping products based on their capacity. In the regulation, all related products sold within the urban area will be subject to a tax of $0.10 per milliliter; For products sold or distributed outside the city boundary but still within the police jurisdiction of the city, a fee of $0.05 per milliliter will be levied.

The regulation is scheduled to come into effect on October 1, 2025. The city government also stated that the actual start time of tax collection may be temporarily delayed, and the specific start arrangement will be clarified by the city council through a supporting resolution at the next meeting. Choosing to make the regulations effective on October 1st aims to ensure that this portion of tax revenue is collected by the city; If the deadline is missed, according to the state level restriction policy, counties and cities will not be allowed to add relevant licenses or taxes from October 1, 2025. In addition, Alabama’s statewide unified vape tax will be implemented from October 1, 2026.

In the definition of “vapor products” in Alabama, the subject of this tax includes: any product that is not ignited, non combustible, relies on mechanical heating elements, batteries, or electronic circuits to generate nicotine aerosols (regardless of shape and size), as well as nicotine containing nebulizers, cartridges, or other containers used in conjunction with the aforementioned devices (such as containers used in vapes, electronic cigars, electronic pipes, etc.). Products regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under Chapter V of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act are not included in this list.

The municipal government stated that it will pass implementation rules at the next city council meeting to clarify the starting point of expropriation and supporting implementation requirements. Industry retailers and distributors need to update their pricing and settlement systems accordingly to ensure compliance with tax rates and reporting in their respective jurisdictions.
