Hemp Oil Taxed at 8% VAT as Dietary Supplement, Not 23% as Non-Alcoholic Beverage

  • Hemp oil for consumption is classified as a dietary supplement, not a non-alcoholic beverage.
  • It is subject to an 8 percent VAT instead of 23 percent.
  • The oil contains a small amount of psychoactive substances found in hemp.
  • It has therapeutic and health benefits due to Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Initially, it was classified as a non-alcoholic beverage with a 23 percent VAT.
  • The classification was changed following a review of regulations effective from December 2023.
  • The review process concluded in March 2025.
