BAT’s plans may be affected by postponement

Vapings

PETALING JAYA: The postponement of the excise duty on electronic cigarette’s and vaporiser product’s nicotine-laced liquid and gel could put British American Tobacco Bhd’s (BAT) plans to move into the segment in limbo.

On Jan 3, the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD) announced that it would postpone the levy, which was supposed to begin on Jan 1, 2022, to a later date.
