WAFB reports Louisiana, United States has passed a new law, known as Bill 414. The law stipulates that starting from July 1st, the e-cigarette liquid consumption tax will be increased from 5 cents to 15 cents.
Retailers who purchase these products directly from authorized online manufacturers tax-free will be required to pay sales tax to the Louisiana Department of Revenue on a monthly basis. Wholesalers and retailers who fail to pay their taxes on time can expect to face strict penalties, fines, and potential license revocation. It is important for stores selling vape products to anticipate increased scrutiny from law enforcement officials.
Starting from October 1, 2023, every manufacturer of vaping products and alternative nicotine products, who sells their products in Louisiana (whether through direct sales or through wholesalers, retailers, or similar intermediaries), will be required to register each of their products with the Louisiana Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) Bureau. The catalog of vaping products and alternative nicotine products will be available on the ATC website by November 1, 2023.
