The political fallout aside, such increases “would lead to more layoffs and more out-of-business signs,” said Boyer, president of the development firm The Boyer Co. But tobacco and gasoline taxes are fair game, the chamber said, even though lawmakers traditionally have resisted boosting fees on those products.
The last time state fuel taxes were raised was in 1995,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in advance of the $1.59 billion remake of Interstate 15 through the Salt Lake Valley. That bump was 5 cents a gallon. Now, the state is ready to launch a similar remake of a section of the freeway through Utah County that is expected to cost more than $2 billion. This time, as in 1995, Utah’s largest trucking association does not oppose another fuel-tax increase,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it is concerned about the amount.
At a proposed 10 cents a gallon, it could raise $100 million a year for state government and $20 million for local governments. “We’re definitely OK with [an increase], but 10 cents is quite a bump, unless it is phased in over time,” said David Creer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], executive director of the Utah Trucking Association. “It’s in our best interests for the state to have good highway infrastructure.” But here’s the kicker �D reps said that they don’t even distribute the Williamsburg pack heavily in Williamsburg.
Bodega workers on Bedford and Manhattan avenues said that they’re running out of the neighborhood pack the same day that they’re dropped off. Heck,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one woman even walks into the N 7 Market on Bedford Avenue and N. Seventh Street every single day to see if any Williamsburg packs arrived,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a cashier said. When the packs are around, she buys every single one. What better way to get people to buy an annoying product than to make them think it’s a limited-time offer that’s flying off the shelves?
But all it means is that R.J. Reynolds is having the last laugh �D all the way to the bank. “The pack is kinda stupid, but they [R.J. Reynolds] definitely know how to sell smokes,” said neighborhood resident Tyler Pearson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who coughed up $10.79 for a pack. He had a point, I had to go out and buy a Williamsburg box myself. For research purposes, of course.
Provincial and federal governments collectively receive $83 million a year in revenue from tobacco taxes on cigarettes smoked by young Canadians, representing about $380 for each of the 220,000 young Canadian smokers identified in the survey. The most commonly smoked brands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], representing three?quarters of the cigarettes smoked by young people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are manufactured by multinational tobacco companies.
Based on Health Canada’s estimate that tobacco companies make $4.43 in profit on each carton of cigarettes sold, and that retailers make $3 on each carton of cigarettes sold, industry revenues that result from young Canadians smoking totals $14 million per year, or more than $50 per school?aged smoker.
