AB381,1,2 1An Act to amend 139.32 (5); and to create 139.39 (7) of the statutes; relating
2to:
decreasing the discount on amounts paid for tax stamps on cigarettes.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the state imposes an excise tax on the sale of cigarettes. The
person who pays the tax affixes tax stamps to the cigarette package to indicate that
the tax has been paid. All persons who are authorized to purchase tax stamps receive
a discount on the tax owed equal to 0.7 percent of the tax.
Under the bill, all persons who are authorized to purchase tax stamps receive
a discount on the tax owed equal to 0.5 percent of the tax. In addition, the
Department of Revenue credits an amount equal to 0.2 percent of the amount paid
on the purchase of tax stamps to the appropriation for tobacco control grants and
programs.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
