John Fisher is usually pretty good on keeping us up to date on the latest
tax news, but he missed one this week from New York State:
TSB-M-08(2)M, Change in the Method of Calculating the Tobacco Products Tax
on Snuff
http://www.tax.state.ny.us/pdf/memos/cigarette/m08_2m.pdf
This one ranks right up there with the decision that all marshmallows are
food (not subject to sales tax) rather than candy (subject to sales tax)
regardless of size.

Definitions are always in order, because there are probably many people
in this US of A who don't know what snuff really is. Have you ever seen
it on the shelf for sale? It comes in one ounce cans.
Anyway, I used to sell snuff back when my father was in the wholesale
bidness. We sold Tops, Strawberry, CC, Garrett's Sweet, just to name
a few. Ah, what pleasant memories of the aroma of a tobacco room!

I started working for IRS in 1971, before Congress had gotten rid of a lot
of excise taxes. We never did get an explanation from our instructors as to
exactly what "adulterated butter and filled cheese" were. Maybe it's just
as well.

Adulterated butter these days is not illegal between consenting butters
of appropriate age.
As for filled cheese, it's filled with hot air, and the bureaucrats
felt too close an affinity to want to cause them trouble.
