SB 6591: Tobacco products tax

Changing the taxation of tobacco products to provide for the taxation of products purchased for resale from persons immune from state tax.

Summary

  • The definition of distributor is changed to include sellers of tobacco products that handle tobacco products which have not been subjected to the tobacco tax. Therefore, distributors who sell tobacco products must pay the tobacco tax in cases where the tax has not already been paid.
