Get ready to pay more for your sins — taxes on cigarettes and liquor are going up for the second time this year.

Effective at 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 28, taxes on those coffin nails will jump $5 a carton and 3.75 cents a gram for loose tobacco.

The tax rate on cigars also climbs again, from 116% to 129%. The NDP expects to rake in $83 million in 2016 through new tobacco taxes alone.

That case of beer or bottle of wine will also rise through an immediate 5% tax markup, which roughly translates into 18 cents for wine or spirits, and about two cents every bottle of beer. There will be separate markups for made-in-Alberta products.

If all this feels familiar, it is.

Former Finance Minister Robin Campbell implemented a $5 hike on cartons and new liquor taxes in March.

The NDP suite of new tax measures also includes a hike to your insurance premium tax rate, which will rise by 1%.

In addition, the NDP is increasing the tax on locomotive fuel by four cents.
