Yes, tobacco shop prices include iva and you can only take 200 cigarettes or 250g tobacco per person regardless where it is bought(shop or airport). We buy ours on ferry as its slightly cheaper than the shops. Another Brexit bonus!!

It depends if you are travelling to Great Britain (England, Scotland or Wales) or your final destination is Northern Ireland. This link will take you to HMRC website where you will find all the relevant information:
