Tax Official: Poor Political Decisions Fuel E-Cigarette Smuggling
Political decisions, including ill-thought-through bans on e-cigarettes and flavoured liquids, have encouraged smuggling, said Baiba Šmite-Roķe, Director General of the State Revenue Service (VID), at a forum on smuggling issues on Thursday.
The head of Latvia's State Revenue Service (VID), Baiba Šmite-Roķe, stated that poorly conceived political choices have inadvertently boosted smuggling activities. She specifically cited ill-considered bans on e-cigarettes and flavored liquids as contributing factors.
Speaking at a forum on smuggling, Šmite-Roķe highlighted how such regulatory missteps can create opportunities for illicit trade. The VID is working to address these challenges and mitigate the impact of these decisions on the legal market.
This highlights how regulatory actions, even with good intentions, can have unintended negative consequences like increased illegal trade.
