Section 45-3-244.30 - County privilege, license, or excise tax - Established

The Barbour County Commission may impose on every person, firm, or corporation that sells, stores, delivers, uses, or otherwise consumes tobacco or tobacco products in Barbour County, a county privilege, license, or excise tax in the following amounts:

(1) Five cents ($0.05) for each package of cigarettes made of tobacco or any substitute therefor.

(2) Five cents ($0.05) for each package of cigars made of tobacco or any substitute therefor, including the cigarette-sized or near cigarette-sized cigars, but excluding single wrapped cigars.

(3) Five cents ($0.05) for each sack, can, package, or other container of smoking tobacco, including granulated, plug cut, crimp cut, ready rubbed, and other kinds and forms of tobacco which are prepared in such manner suitable for smoking in a pipe or cigarette.

(4) Five cents ($0.05) for each sack, plug, package, or other container of chewing tobacco, which tobacco is prepared in such manner suitable for chewing only and not suitable for smoking as described in subdivision (3).

(5) Five cents ($0.05) for each can, bottle, glass, tumbler, package, or other container of snuff made of tobacco or any substitute therefor.

(6) Five cents ($0.05) for each package of tobacco paper, both gummed and ungummed.

(7) Five cents ($0.05) on each single wrapped cigar made of tobacco or any substitute therefor.

The privilege, license, or excise tax shall be in addition to all other taxes imposed by law and shall be collected in the same manner as other taxes on tobacco, except that when the license tax required by this subpart has been paid by a wholesaler or seller of the products, that payment shall be sufficient. The legislative intent is that the tax shall be paid only once on each package of cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff, cigars of every description, and smoking tobacco of every description, and for each package of tobacco paper, whether gummed or ungummed.
