New Mexico: Legislature Passes $.50 Cigar Tax Cap

It was a fast and furious legislative session in the Land of Enchantment. The New Mexico legislature, in its final minutes of deliberation, passed a comprehensive tax reform package. House Bill 6 includes a $0.50 cigar tax cap. If Governor Grisham signs H.B. 6, the effective date will be July 1st, 2019. This was a hard-fought provision that could not have been achieved without the commitment to engage from our New Mexico members.

IPCPR and our members are encouraging the Governor to sign this important piece of legislation into law. We will continue to keep you informed of any updates.
