上海烟民在增税后购烟成本升高   2015-05-13

 

Shanghai's estimated 5 million smokers are paying up to 10 percent more for cigarettes this week after China’s Ministry of Finance raised the wholesale tobacco tax as part of national efforts to discourage smoking.

China is the world’s largest tobacco market.

The wholesale tax was raised to 11 percent from 5 percent last week, and wholesalers also were hit with a 0.005 yuan surtax on every cigarette sold.
