Judge rejects european suit on cigarettes – new york times A federal judge in Brooklyn yesterday dismissed an unusual lawsuit by European countries against American tobacco companies that had asserted that the companies used fraud and money laundering to smuggle American cigarettes into their countries. The filing of the case in federal court more than a year ago drew international attention because of accusations by the European Community that its members lose billions of dollars in tax revenues because American cigarette makers use narcotics traffickers and money launderers to help transport and sell contraband cigarettes. The companies that were sued, Philip Morris and R. J. Reynolds Tobacco, denied those assertions in the racketeering suit. In his ruling yesterday, the judge, Nicholas G. Garaufis of United States District Court, did not make any findings on the smuggling contentions. Instead, he dismissed the suits, citing a rule with roots in the 18th century that says courts of one country will not enforce tax claims of another country. Excise duty on manufactured tobacco Marlboro cigarettes ma – carton of marlboro 100. SUMMARY This directive establishes general principles for the harmonisation of the structure and rates of the excise duty which European Union (EU) countries apply to manufactured tobacco. For the purposes of this directive, the term manufactured tobacco includes the following - cigarettes - cigars and cigarillos - smoking tobacco, including fine cut tobacco for the rolling of cigarettes and other smoking tobacco. Provisions applicable to cigarettes Both cigarettes manufactured within the EU and those imported from non EU countries are subject to an ad valorem excise duty calculated on the maximum retail selling price, including customs duties, and also to a specific excise duty calculated per unit of the product. EU countries may, however exclude customs duties from the calculation of ad valorem excise duty on cigarettes. The rate of the ad valorem excise duty and the amount of the specific excise duty must be identical for all cigarettes. The percentage of the specific component of excise duty in the amount of the total tax burden on cigarettes is established in accordance with the weighted average retail selling price. The weighted average retail selling price is calculated in accordance with the total value of all cigarettes released for consumption, based on the retail selling price including all taxes, divided by the total quantity of cigarettes released for consumption. The weighted average retail selling price must be determined by 1 March of each year based on the data for the previous year s releases for consumption. The specific component of the excise duty must not be less than 5 % and not more than 76.5 % of the amount of the total tax burden resulting from the sum of the specific excise duty and the ad valorem excise duty and the value added tax (VAT) imposed on the weighted average retail selling price. From 1 January 2014, the specific component must be between 7.5 % and 76.5 %. Where there is a change in the weighted average retail selling price of cigarettes in an EU country that takes the specific component of the excise duty below 5 % or 7.5 %, whichever is applicable, or above 76.5 % of the total tax burden, the EU country concerned may refrain from adjusting the amount of the specific excise duty until 1 January of the second year following that in which the change occurs. EU countries may impose a minimum excise duty on cigarettes. EU countries must apply minimum consumption taxes to cigarettes. This tax includes a specific excise duty per unit of the product, an ad valorem excise duty based on the maximum retail selling price, and a VAT proportional to the retail selling price. The overall excise duty on cigarettes is the specific duty and ad valorem duty excluding VAT, and shall constitute at least 57 % of the weighted average retail selling price of cigarettes released for consumption. This excise duty must not be less than EUR 64 per 1 000 cigarettes irrespective of the weighted average retail selling price. EU countries which impose an excise duty of at least EUR 101 per 1000 cigarettes are not required to comply with the 57 % condition. When an EU country increases the rate of VAT on cigarettes, it may reduce the overall excise duty to an amount equal to the increase in the rate of VAT when expressed as a percentage of the weighted average retail selling price. Provisions applicable to manufactured tobacco other than cigarettes EU countries shall apply an excise duty to manufactured tobacco other than cigarettes, which may be - an ad valorem duty calculated on the basis of the maximum retail selling price of each product - a specific duty expressed as an amount per kilogram or per 1000 pieces - a mixture of an ad valorem element and a specific element. The overall excise duty must be at least equivalent to the rates or minimum amounts established for - cigars or cigarillos 5 % of the retail selling price inclusive of all taxes or EUR 12 per 1000 items or per kilogram - fine cut smoking tobacco intended for the rolling of cigarettes 40 % of the weighted average retail selling price or EUR 40 per kilogram - other smoking tobaccos 20 % of the retail selling price inclusive of all taxes, or EUR 22 per kilogram. Maximum retail selling price Manufacturers, their representatives or authorised agents in the EU, and importers of tobacco from non EU countries have the right to determine the maximum retail selling price for each of their products for each EU country in which the products concerned are to be released for consumption. This does not however affect the implementation of national legislation regarding price control or the observance of imposed prices, provided that they are compatible with EU legislation. This directive repealed directives 92/79/EEC, 92/80/EEC and 95/59/EC.

Prema izračunu Ministarstva, najviše se povećava trošarina na cigarete čije se maloprodajne cijene kreću do 18 kuna i to za 1 kunu i 62 lipe. Trošarine na cigarete maloprodajnih cijena od 19 kuna povećavaju se za 90 lipa, a one cjenovnih kategorija od 20 do 35 kuna povećavaju se od 0,54 do 0,69 lipa Povećanje cijena cigareta od dvije do pet kuna po kutiji na teret potrošača zbog povećanja trošarina bilo bi prekomjerno i neopravdano, objavilo je Ministarstvo financija (MF) na svojim internetskim stranicama. Ministarstvo financija danas je reagiralo u povodu procjena objavljenih u medijima o povećanju maloprodajne cijene cigareta od dvije do pet kuna uslijed povećanja trošarina. Prema izračunu Ministarstva, najviše se povećava trošarina na cigarete čije se maloprodajne cijene kreću do 18 kuna i to za 1 kunu i 62 lipe. Trošarine na cigarete maloprodajnih cijena od 19 kuna povećavaju se za 90 lipa, a one cjenovnih kategorija od 20 do 35 kuna povećavaju se od 0,54 do 0,69 lipa. Ministarstvo podsjeća da su određeni proizvođači duhanskih proizvoda već tijekom ovogodišnjeg svibnja podigli maloprodajne cijene svojih cigareta, dakle prije nego što je Vlada donijela Uredbu o povećanju visine trošarina. Zbog svega toga, u Ministarstvu smatraju najavu proizvođača o daljnjem podizanju maloprodajnih cijena uslijed povećanja trošarina iznad spomenutih iznosa prekomjernom i neopravdanom, te ističu da bi svako daljnje povećanje značilo isključivo povećanje prihoda proizvođača duhanskih proizvoda na teret potrošača. U slučaju najavljenog podizanja maloprodajnih cijena cigareta za iznos veći od povećanja trošarina, Vlada ima mogućnost daljnjeg povećanja trošarina za sve proizvođače duhanskih proizvoda, čime bi razlika u povećanju trošarina postala prihod državnog proračuna, kaže se u priopćenju Ministarstva. Uredbom o visini trošarina na cigarete, za sitno rezani duhan i ostali duhan za pušenje izmijenjen je obračun trošarina u cilju provedbe preuzete obveze Republike Hrvatske prema Europskoj uniji. Uredbom se utvrđuje visina trošarine na cigarete i to specifična trošarina u iznosu od 197 kuna za tisuću komada cigareta, proporcionalna trošarina 37 posto od maloprodajne cijene cigareta i minimalna trošarina u iznosu od 567 kuna za tisuću komada cigareta. Ujedno se povećava i trošarina na sitno rezani duhan tako da iznosi 450 kuna za jedan kilogram, a za ostali duhan za pušenje 380 kuna za jedan kilogram. (Profitiraj.hr)
