SB 25 Virginia Senate · 2022 Regular Session

Cigarette tax, local; identifying unsold inventory, localities that increase taxes.

Summary
Local cigarette tax; unsold inventory. Requires any locality that increases its cigarette tax rate to allow, for one calendar year after the increase, a person with unsold inventory to pay the tax increase on the unsold inventory by filing a return, rather than requiring the use of a stamp or meter impression. The bill imposes a duty on regional cigarette tax boards to effectuate the policy. This bill is identical to HB 1076.
