BILL NUMBER:S3410 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the tax on certain tobacco products PURPOSE: This bill caps the state imposed tax on cigars at 75% of the wholesale price or $1.00 per cigar, whichever is less. To remain competitive, and to provide the state with a stream of revenue it can depend upon, it is only logical to impose a reasonable tax cap on cigars, allowing the state to continue collecting revenue and establish ourselves as more competitive to surrounding states in the cigar market. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends sections 471-b and 471-c of the tax law to cap the tax on cigars at 75% of the wholesale price or $1.00 per cigar, whichever is less. EXISTING LAW: Existing law provides for a 75% of wholesale price tax on cigars, with no maximum as to the dollar amount. STATEMENT OF SUPPORT:
