A substantial hike in tobacco excise is expected to deliver more than $5bn to the federal budget between now and 2016, the Rudd government has confirmed.
The tobacco excise will be increased by 12.5% over the next four years. The government has been attempting to frame the revenue grab as a health measure, pointing to preventive health issues it is also undertaking.
After telegraphing its intentions for several days, the government has now confirmed the increases will commence on 1 December 2013.
