Texas Three Cent Cigarette Tax Affects Texarkana
Texas Governor Sterling signed a three cent cigarette tax law that unintentionally created a border tax effect in Texarkana Arkansas where no tax was collected due to Arkansas law. A reciprocal provision requires tax collection in border cities matching the other state, so Texarkana Arkansas would see a three cent tax while Arkansas imposes five cents. The Texarkana schools lose state allocat ions from the tax, and the measure becomes operative 90 days after adjournment of the legislature. Smokers dealers and schools have months to study the impact.
