Earth TimesANALYSIS SHOWS NEW YORK CITY LOSING UP TO $150 MILLION A YEAR FROM INTERNET CIGARETTE WEBSITES Representative Anthony D. Weiner (D - Brooklyn and Queens), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, and State Senator Jeff Klein (D - Bronx), Deputy Majority Leader, released a new report today showing that new york City is losing up to $150 million in revenue from untaxed cigarettes purchased over the Internet. Weiner announced Congress will soon consider legislation to ban the mailing of cigarettes - effectively shutting down these websites.When purchasing cigarettes in a retail store, consumers pay $2.75 per pack for the State excise tax and $1.50 per pack for the City excise tax. There is also an 8.375% sales tax that the consumer pays on the entire sale price. So a carton of cigarettes includes a combined $4.25 City and State tax plus sales tax. Smokers buying cigarettes online are still required to pay these City, State and sales taxes, but cigarette sites almost never report the sales to state and local governments.This week the federal cigarette excise tax was increased Tobacco.orgEDITORIAL: Cigarette tax: More for finances than health Most people think cigarette smoking is a scourge and higher taxes will help stamp it out. That's true and, to a great degree, a noble thought.However, for state legislators, and now Congress, increasing the tax on cigarettes is more an easy way to raise money than a public health issue. The temptation is an easy one: to plug whatever budget gap exists, raise the tax on cigarettes and argue it's for the public good. Delaware did it in 2007 and Gov. Markell is proposing it for this year. . . .Since the federal tax just went up 62 cents a pack, even more smokers can be expected to stop. That will bring every state's point of diminishing returns even closer.Translation: Cigarette taxes are short-term revenue solutions. If the taxes were really about the health of smoker, the tax would be a lot higher.
