A new levy on sweetened drinks, e-cigarettes and vaping fluid will be brought in on December 1, the country's tax authority said.

Sugary drinks will be hit with a 50 per cent tax on the existing price.

Vaping devices and associated products - which were made legal in April - will be subject to a 100 per cent tax for the first time.

The Cabinet announced the expansion of the so-called 'sin tax' of 2017 in August. It was originally due to be implemented in January.

The Federal Tax Authority this week said all producers and importers of e-smoking devices, vaping liquids and sweetened beverages should register in the authority's system before December.

The new levy on sugary drinks will hit brands that escaped the 50 per cent tax on fizzy drinks that caused the price of Coca-Cola, Red Bull and Pepsi to rise.

As The National reported last year, non-fizzy sugared drinks were not covered when the original tax was introduced in 2017. Non-carbonated sports drinks sold in supermarkets were found to contain, on average, 20 grams of sugar per 500ml bottle.
