Distribution includes the sale of untaxed tobacco products in this state, the use or consumption, including samples, of untaxed

purpose of selling the tobacco products to consumers.
Distributor includes every person who makes a "distribution" of tobacco products, or who sells or accepts orders for tobacco
products that are to be transported from outside California to a consumer within California.
Imposition of Tax. Every distributor must pay tax upon the distribution of untaxed tobacco products in this state.
Untaxed Tobacco Products means either tobacco products that have not yet been distributed in a manner that results in tax
liability or tobacco products that have been distributed and returned to the distributor after payment of tax and for which the
distributor has claimed a deduction [Revenue & Taxation Code section 30123(c)] or a refund or credit pursuant to Revenue &
Taxation Code section 30176.2 or 30178.2.
Wholesale Cost means the cost of tobacco products and samples to the distributor, including the dollar value of samples, and
the dollar value of any manufacturer's discounts or trade allowances (Revenue and Taxation Code section 30017 and 30123).
For example, the wholesale cost of any manufactured tobacco product that is distributed in a taxable manner shall include all
manufacturing costs, the cost of raw material, including waste materials not incorporated into the final product, the cost of
labor, any direct and indirect overhead costs, the wholesale markup and any Federal Excise and/or US Custom's Taxes paid.
In addition to the price paid for the tobacco product, the wholesale cost of any tobacco product that is imported into this state
directly from outside the country shall include any Federal Excise or US Custom's Taxes paid.
