Missouri Supreme Court Rules Cigarette Tax Cannot Be Charged as Sales Tax
The Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the nine cent cigarette tax cannot be charged as part of the sales tax. The decision voids a 1974 rule barring vending machine sellers from deducting the cigarette tax when computing sales tax owed. The court held the cigarette tax is a consumer levy, with the seller acting as state agent for collection. ITT Canteen Corp. challenged the department after paying the tax under protest.
