| Summary: | The report presents the results of
macro-simulations of the consequences of different excise
policy scenarios for 2018–2021 in two EAEU countries, Russia
and Kazakhstan. Three scenarios are considered: (a) the
low-taxation harmonization level and rate of growth proposed
by the Eurasian Economic Commission; (b) the somewhat higher
taxation harmonization option proposed by the Eurasian
Economic Commission – here referred to as the
"compromise" scenario; and (c) the high
("optimal") scenario of rapid excise growth, which
is a scenario closest to the recommendations of the World
Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco
Control (WHO FCTC) and the EU harmonization experience. |
