TAxoS CIGARS
The Acting Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue has written the following letter re-
lating to the tax on cigars:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.
SIR In answer to your letter of the Ist,
have TO say that by bonding your cigars
you can have them appraised at the whole
sale marke value, and on withdrawing them
for consumption you can sell them as you
please, at wholesale or retail, as you may
find customers But ifnO tax is paid upon
cigars until they are sold, the actual price, !
whether at WHOLESALERS or retail, must be as
sessed upon such price. The tax upon
cigars sold at $50 per thousand is so, but
if the same quality of cigars are retailed at
S50per thousand, the tax will be Sl4.
