(JT) and its 47,500 employees are striving to become a “global growth company that develops diversified, value-creating businesses.” JT is the world’s third-largest tobacco company.

Choy, Director Department of Taxation Date: March 3, 2021 Time: 9:45 A.M. Place: Via Videoconference, Hawaii State Capitol Re: S.B. 1147, S.D. 1, Relating to Tobacco Products The Department of Taxation (Department) supports S.B. 1147, S.D. 1, an Administration measure, and offers the following comments for your consideration. S.B. 1147, S.D. 1, makes multiple amendments to chapter 245, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS). These amendments will enable improved regulation of the sale of electronic smoking products. S.D. 1 has a defective effective date of January 1, 2050. The Department appreciates the increased wholesaler/dealer license fees and retail permit fees in sections 245-2 and 245-2.5, HRS, respectively. In most cases, the current fee amount does not cover the cost to the State to issue the license or permit. The Department prefers this measure over the other measures proposing to impose the tobacco tax on electronic smoking products because the new imposition can be administered as part of the existing tax. The Department is able to administer this bill as currently written, provided a functional effective date of January 1, 2022 or later is inserted.

  • Dpci National Illicit Cigarettes in South Africa
    SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE SERVICE SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE SERVICE DPCI NATIONAL ILLICIT CIGARETTES IN SOUTH AFRICA Priority Crime Management Centre Analytical Approach: To Focus on or/and Affect the Business System of Crime PERIOD: 1 APRIL 2017 – 31 MARCH 2018 1 BACKGROUND It will be seen that the name or reference in our view is rather a misnomer in that it does not amount to any illicit trade in tobacco but rather CRIMINAL ACTS Fraud or Tax Evasion in terms of the tax laws. The illicit cigarettes trade is defined as “the production, import, export, purchase, sale, or possession of tobacco goods which fail to comply with legislation” (FATF 2012). Illicit cigarettes trade activities fall under 3 categories: § Contrabrand: cigarettes smuggled from abroad without domestic duty paid. • Counterfeit: cigarettes manufactured without authorization of the rightful owners, with intent to deceive consumers and to avoid paying duty. • Illicit whites: brands manufactured legitimately in one country, but smuggled and sold in another without duties being paid. • Cigarette smuggling, also informally referred to as “bootlegging,” is the illicit transportation of cigarettes or cigars from an administrative division with low taxation to a division with high taxation for sale and consumption. The practice, commonly used by organized crime syndicates and rebel groups, is a form of tax evasion. • BACKGROUND Modus operandi as followed by perpetrators regarding the illicit trade in tobacco • Smuggling genuine, counterfeit and illicit branded cigarettes; • Diversion of cigarettes intended for export; • Trading in illicit tobacco; • Non-reporting of income from trade in illicit tobacco to evade income and sales taxes; • Operating legitimate businesses as using the business as a front to facilitate illicit trade (from Zimbabwe to SA).

Tobacco billboard-advertising in Maputo, tents. Mozambique (April, 2005). Maputo outdoor advertising was surveyed by 3 observers (in loco and after visualizing the images recorded in video), both in downtown largest and busier avenues (24th of July, 25th of September, Eduardo Mondlane, Guerra Popular, Julius Nyerere, Karl Marx, Kenneth Kaunda, Mao Tse Tung, Vladimir Lenine) and in the suburbs (Acordos de Lusaka, Angola, Joaquim Chissano, FPLM, Julius Nyerere, Malhangalene, Moçambique, OUA, Vladimir Lenine). The total length of the streets surveyed was approximately 120 kilometres. The main daily (Expresso, Mediafax, Notícias) and weekly (Demos, Domingo, Embondeiro, País, Savana, Zambeze) newspapers published in Maputo were checked to identify advertising items. In April 2005, we identified 707 billboards (79.9% down- town; 45.0% larger than 1 m2 as estimated by the observers and 8.4% blank). Only 2 tobacco advertisements were observed (0.3% of the non-blank billboards). Both were large panels, one with the typical image of a group of people smoking, and the other displaying a tobacco plantation (fig.
