Treasury is reviewing the recently enacted tax law changes, including the new Marijuana Wholesale Tax. Developing clear and accurate information for tax stakeholders is our top priority. This guidance will be posted to our website in the coming weeks.
Consumer Warning Notice for Tobacco Retailers
The Michigan Department of Treasury and Michigan State Police are working to educate Michigan residents about the consequences of purchasing tobacco products from unlicensed sources. The campaign is designed to inform consumers about the Tobacco Products Tax Act violations that occur when purchasing from unlicensed sources. We want consumers to understand the civil consequences (tax, penalty and interest), and criminal consequences (fines, seizures, incarceration) they face when purchasing tobacco products from Internet vendors, through the mail or from retail stores in bordering states.
Tobacco retailers are encouraged to download this Consumer Warning Notice and prominently display it at their retail locations.
