Especially for me. I'm in the furniture business. Oh yeah, and I think the the Cigar tax is only $.036 per cigar, but if anyone knows where to look, I'd check that number. I'm having difficulty getting it. |

Also FL has -0- Tax on Cigars so not quite sure how PA would still be the lowest. Several other states have less than 30% also. |

Edit: Now that I'm looking, some sources are quoting 30%. That would be significant, but I'm still trying to find it in the actual budget. |

April 29, 2009 – Florida’s cigar industry will apparently not have to endure even more taxation at the hands of its own state legislature. As part of negotiations between the leadership of the state’s House of Representatives and Senate over the state’s new budget, a new $1-per-pack tax on cigarettes will be included, but no taxes will be instituted on cigars. At present, Florida is one of just three states – along with New Hampshire and Pennsylvania – that does not tax cigars. 36 cents/10 would not be a big issue for most is correct but I have read 2 articles about it and both said 30%. Of course it would not be unlike the politicians to say that 30% was about 36 cents/10.... in TX they do that sort of crap every year on property tax proposals. |

I have not bought more than 5 or 6 cigars at a B&M over the last year and those were bought when I was traveling and just wanted a cigar. There prices are rediculous in most cases. |
Re: Pennsylvania Governor Proposes Cigar Tax, Again
I stand corrected, I was thinking about the Schip tax. They did increase the cigarette tax though by $1.00 per pack. And something caused the smokeless and chewing tobacco to go up a lot. Just can't remember if it was the schip or not.

Thanks for the info on FL. Your article post dates mine... Yes, you are correct... In the actual PA budget it shows a 30% tax. That is significant. Well see if it passes. His budget last year didn't pass as written. He actually proposed a Sales Tax increase last year. Go figure. |
Re: Pennsylvania Governor Proposes Cigar Tax, Again
Living in Central PA this could have an effect on me. I have never been a big fan of Mr. Rendell and a lot of people are hoping to see him go once the next election comes. I don't think this helps his case at all.

Re: Pennsylvania Governor Proposes Cigar Tax, Again
Today, Governor Ed Rendell put forth his 2010-11 Budget, his 8th and last budget, -- proposing to spend $29.03 billion, or 4.1 percent over the current fiscal year. The Governor is calling for a massive expansion of the Sales Tax, new business taxes, and a new tax on Marcellus Shale drilling.
"At a time when Pennsylvania and average citizens are attempting to climb their way out of the worst recession since the Great Depression, the Governor's tax and spending proposals are putting more obstacles in our path to prosperity," said Sen. Orie. Overall, the Governor proposed the following tax measures: Expanding the Sales Tax to include 74 additional items and services including: basic television, candy/gum, coal, firewood, flags, magazines, personal hygiene products, residential telephone service, and water and sewage services. A new 5% Natural Gas Severance Tax on a new industry in Pennsylvania, which is creating new jobs and opportunities. Place a new 30% tax on cigars and smokeless tobacco. Eliminate the 1% Vendor Sales Tax Discount. Require the adoption of combined reporting for business taxes. |
