Abstract

Background: The impact of pricing strategies on different socioeconomic groups is not uniform. There is urgency in addressing of characteristics of household demand to make a policy choice in line with development goals. Objectives: This study was done to assess the effect of Welfare Loss from counterfactual tax-induced Cigarette price increases on representative smokers by different expenditure quintiles in Iran. Methods: This analytical study was conducted using pooling cross-sections and compensating variation (CV) to evaluate the costs of taxing Cigarettes. The data source used in our study was the Household Income and Expenditure survey (HIES) from 2001-2017. We did an almost idealdemandsystem (AIDS) analysis to estimate elasticities for Cigarettedemandand compute Welfare Losses from simulated Cigarette price increases by socioeconomic groups. We used STATA version 15. 1 (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA), and Microsoft Excel 2016 to undertake the relevant analyses and estimates. Results: The highest loss was suffered by households of the poorest quintile, who should afford 1. 41%, 2. 47 %, and 3. 20% more budget in the long-run, respectively, as the result of three simulated price increases to stay at the same well-being as before. Conclusions: Concerning direct Welfare Loss from the Cigarette Taxation reform in Iran, and focusing on low-income groups, such a policy can be considered as regressive. However, this regressivity can be reduced by informing strategies to redirect sin tax revenues that benefit the poor.
