Ala. Code § 45-9-244 — Alabama Code / Title 45 / Chapter 9 / Section 45-9-244
Section 45-9-244 Tobacco Products
Status: in_force

(a) Upon adoption of the Legislature, there is hereby imposed on every person, firm, or corporation that sells, stores, delivers, uses, or otherwise consumes tobacco or tobacco products in Chambers County, a county privilege, license, or excise tax in the following amounts:

(1) Twenty-five cents ($.25) for each package of cigarettes made of tobacco or any substitute therefor.

(2) Twelve cents ($.12) for each cigar of any description made of tobacco or any substitute therefor, but not including cigarette sized and near cigarette sized cigars which shall be taxed in the same manner as cigarettes under subdivision (1).

(3) Twenty-five cents ($.25) 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) Twenty-five cents ($.25) 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) Twenty-five cents ($.25) for each can, bottle, glass, tumbler, package, or other container of snuff made of tobacco or any substitute therefor.

(6) Twenty-five cents ($.25) for each package of tobacco paper, both gummed and ungummed.

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 section 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.

(b) Every person, firm, corporation, club, or association that sells, stores, or receives for the purpose of selling or storing in Chambers County, any cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and smoking tobacco products shall add the amount of the license or privilege tax levied and assessed to the price of the cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and smoking tobacco products. It is the purpose and intent of this subsection that the tax levied is, in fact, a levy on the consumer with the person, firm, corporation, club, or association that sells or stores or receives for the purpose of distributing the cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and smoking tobacco products acting merely as an agent for the collection of the tax. The dealer, storer, or distributor shall state the amount of the tax separately from the price of the cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and smoking tobacco products on all price display signs, sales or delivery slips, bills, and statements which advertise or indicate the price of the cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and smoking tobacco products.

(c) It shall be unlawful for any dealer, storer, distributor, or any person, firm, or corporation that sells, delivers, uses, or otherwise consumes tobacco products in Chambers County, for which the tax is levied, to fail or refuse to add to the sales price and collect from the purchaser the amount due to Chambers County on account of the tax herein provided, to refund or offer to refund all or any part of the amount collected or absorbed, or advertise directly or indirectly, the absorption of the tax or any portion thereof. Any person, firm, corporation, club, or association violating this subsection shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500). Each section in violation of this subsection shall constitute a separate offense.

(1) The State Department of Revenue may collect all taxes levied pursuant to this section at the same time and in the same manner as state sales and use taxes are collected.

(2) The tax levied herein shall be paid by affixing stamps that are required for the payment of the tax imposed by Section 40-25-1 to 40-25-28, inclusive.

(3) The county shall, in conjunction with the District Community Service Grant Authority, contract with the State Department of Revenue to purchase stamps to be affixed. The department may have the same duties relative to the preparation and sale of stamps to evidence the payment of the tax that it has relative to the preparation and sale of stamps under Section 40-25-1 to 40-25-28, inclusive.

(4) In accordance with Section 40-25-2(g), in the event the aforementioned tobacco stamps are not available for affixing to tobacco products packages and containers, or by the authority of a duly promulgated regulation eliminating the requirement of affixing county tobacco stamps, the entity, including the Commissioner of the Department of Revenue, may require a monthly report in lieu of stamps to report the amount of tax due. The monthly report shall be in a form approved by the commissioner and adopted by the department under the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act, Chapter 22, Title 41. If monthly reports are not required to be filed by a person, firm, or corporation that sells, stores, delivers, uses, or otherwise consumes tobacco products in Chambers County with the State Department of Revenue, these reports shall be filed with the Chambers County Commission.

(d) All laws, rules, and regulations of the department relating to the manner and time of payment of the tax levied by Sections 40-25-1 to 40-25-28, inclusive, requiring reports from dealers and prescribing penalties for violations shall apply with equal force to the tax levied by this section as provided for in this section.

(e) There is hereby created the District Community Service Grant Authority consisting of the Senator from Senate District 13 and the House members from House Districts 37 and 38. The District Community Service Grant Authority shall allocate funds distributed to the authority.

(f)(1) The proceeds from the tax authorized, less two percent of the actual cost of collection shall be distributed to the Chambers County General Fund to be expended as follows:

a. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds shall be distributed to a special account to be utilized exclusively for county fire and rescue protection purposes, as provided in subdivision (2).

b. Forty-eight percent of the proceeds shall be distributed to the Chambers County Industrial Development Council.

c. Eighteen percent of the proceeds shall be distributed to the District Community Service Grant Authority to be allocated by the authority.

d. Four percent of the proceeds shall be distributed to the Chattahoochee Valley Humane Society to be used for small animal control on a countywide basis.

e. Three percent of the proceeds shall be distributed to Valley Haven School.

f. Two percent of the proceeds shall be deposited into a fund in the county treasury earmarked for scholarships for residents of Chambers County to be administered and awarded by a scholarship board consisting of three persons appointed by the legislative delegation representing Chambers County.

(2) The county commission may enter into a service contract with the Chambers County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association which represents more than one fire and/or rescue department to provide fire and rescue protection to a part or all of the county. The county commission may develop criteria which shall be met by the association with which it enters into contract. The compensation for the contract shall be paid from funds in the special account. The association may be composed of volunteer fire and rescue departments which are located within the county. Compensation paid to the association pursuant to the service contract shall be distributed by the association to the volunteer fire and rescue departments in the manner the association’s governing body deems appropriate. The association shall develop standards and criteria which shall be met by all its member fire and rescue departments. Each officer of the association shall be a member in good standing of a volunteer fire department. Any member fire and rescue department which fails to meet the standards and criteria shall be denied its share of the funding. The association shall give noncomplying member fire and rescue departments proper notice of all deficiencies and a reasonable time period to correct the deficiencies before any funds shall be denied.

(g) This section shall not be construed to apply to cigarettes, cigars, snuff, smoking tobacco, and like tobacco products stored by a wholesale dealer for the purpose of resale or reshipment outside of the county which are actually resold or reshipped.

Status: in_force

Act 96-631 of the 1996 Regular Session (Acts 1996, p. 1002) authorized the Chilton County Commission to levy an additional sales and use tax for the purpose of financing a new county jail. When the bonds to finance the jail were retired, Act 96-631 provided for the tax to be levied for one year thereafter with the revenue placed in a trust account with the interest used to operate and maintain the new jail. The Legislature finds that at the current time the interest from the account is not sufficient to maintain the county jail in a prudent manner to keep the county jail functional, safe, and secure. Therefor, the Legislature, at the request of the Chilton County Commission, finds that there is a need to allow both principal and interest in the account to be used for the maintenance and repair of the county jail as provided in this part.

Securities in the custody of such subcustodian shall not be counted as in the custody of the custodian for the purpose of computing the amount of the custodian’s bond. The board is authorized to accept and receive gifts, donations, or legacies for the fund, and to administer same against the fund, the records of the city comptroller and custodian made and kept for the purpose of this subpart shall be deemed prima facie, to speak the truth.
