Excise duty receipts for each category of tobacco products are shown in HM Customs and Excise Annual Report 1998–99, table E2. The VAT received on cigarettes is estimated at £1,655 million in 1998–99, and the VAT on all other tobacco products is estimated at £115 million. VAT has been estimated from Office for National Statistics figures for household consumption on cigarettes and other tobacco products. No separate figures are available for VAT on cigars, hand-rolling and other smoking and chewing tobacco.
