Cigarette Tax Cut Advances In House Vote
The House Ways and Means Committee approved a 2.1 cent cut to the federal tax on economy brand cigarettes, trimming the pack tax from 7 to 4.9 cents for 12 cent retail products and leaving a gap to standard brands. The panel also kept a 7 cent tax for higher priced packs, slashed chewing tobacco tax, and maintained cigar taxes while noting the action remains tentative amid possible presidential veto. In related news, tobacco markets in Upper Marlboro showed price increases on opening day across most grades, with several rises in dollar value per hundred pounds.
