How much does tobacco tax in China account for the national tax revenue?

China tobacco tax is 80%, and the annual tax payment is about 1 trillion. According to China's situation, the taxes involved in the tobacco industry mainly include tobacco leaf tax, consumption tax, value-added tax, income tax, urban maintenance and construction tax, education surcharge and so on. In addition, China's tobacco enterprises, as state-owned tobacco enterprises under the monopoly system, need to pay state-owned capital gains and special after-tax profits in addition to various taxes.

According to relevant statistics, there are about 350 million smokers in China, accounting for one third of the global smoking population. More importantly, men who smoke account for about 60% of adult men. That is to say, China has the largest smoking group in the world.

Having the largest number of smokers in the world means that China has the largest tobacco planting scale in the world, which in turn has the highest total tax payment of the tobacco industry in the world, but to some extent, this is not necessarily a good thing.

Due to the large number of smokers in China, the number of people who die from smoking-related diseases ranks first in the world every year, and the increasingly serious second-hand smoke also poses a threat to the health of non-smokers.

All the above situations actually represent the things behind the bright data of China tobacco industry, which is not as easy as joking. In this regard, everyone still needs to have a clear understanding.
