A. The department may enter into an intergovernmental agreement with a tribe to:
(1) enforce, administer or otherwise implement the provisions of the Cigarette Tax Act;
(2) increase the ability of the department to account for packages of cigarettes imported into, sold or transferred within and exported from the state; and
(3) provide for cooperative tax collection or tax administration of the cigarette tax.
B. Nothing in the Cigarette Tax Act shall be construed to waive or restrict the sovereign immunity of a tribe or the state.
A. A tax that may be identified as the “cigarette inventory tax” is imposed on a distributor that has in its possession tax-exempt stamps, tax-credit stamps or tax stamps, not affixed to packages of cigarettes, at the close of business on the day prior to the date on which an increase in the cigarette tax imposed by Section 7-12-3 NMSA 1978 is effective.
B. The cigarette inventory tax due from the distributor is calculated by multiplying the number of tax stamps not affixed to packages of cigarettes in the distributor's possession by the increase in the excise tax. Tax-exempt stamps and tax-credit stamps are not included in the calculation to determine the amount of cigarette inventory tax to be paid by a distributor.
C. The cigarette inventory tax is to be paid to the department on or before the twenty-fifth day of the month following the month in which the increase in the cigarette tax is effective.
