Description

This special notice announces amendments to to the Tobacco Tax Act and its regulations, effective October 1, 2023. The amendments will implement a consistent tax collection and remittance system for all tobacco wholesalers by aligning collection and remittance timelines with when the first sale of tobacco is made in Alberta by a tobacco wholesaler (the sales method) instead of when the tobacco is first brought into Alberta by the wholesaler (the purchase method). As a result, tax collectors will be able to hold tobacco in inventory tax-out. Special notices are time specific and meant to be transitory in nature. The information may eventually be incorporated into other publications such as information circulars or web content.
