REPORTS BY WHOLESALERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF CIGARETTES.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) The comptroller may, when considered necessary by the comptroller for the administration of a tax under this chapter, require each wholesaler or distributor of cigarettes to file with the comptroller a report each month of sales to retailers in this state.
(b) The wholesaler or distributor shall file the report on or before the 25th day of each month. The report must contain the following information for the preceding calendar month's sales in relation to each retailer:
(1) the name of the retailer and the address of the retailer's outlet location to which the wholesaler or distributor delivered cigarettes, including city and zip code;
(2) the taxpayer number assigned by the comptroller to the retailer, if the wholesaler or distributor is in possession of the number;
(3) the cigarette permit number of the outlet location to which the wholesaler or distributor delivered cigarettes; and
(4) the monthly net sales made to the retailer by the wholesaler or distributor, including the quantity and units of cigarettes in stamped packages sold to the retailer.
(c) Except as provided by this subsection, the wholesaler or distributor shall file the report with the comptroller electronically. The comptroller may establish procedures for allowing an alternative method of filing for a wholesaler or distributor who demonstrates to the comptroller an inability to comply with the electronic reporting requirement. If the comptroller determines that another technological method of filing the report is more efficient than electronic filing, the comptroller may establish procedures requiring its use by wholesalers and distributors.
(d) Except as provided by Section 111.006, information contained in a report required to be filed by this section is confidential and not subject to disclosure under Chapter 552, Government Code.
