MC Cigarette Tax Revenues Higher Than Anticipated

Middlesex County and Town of Urbanna officials say revenues from the recently-enacted cigarette tax are higher than anticipated. According to the Southside Sentinel the county collected more than $57,000 and Urbanna netted nearly $2,000 for August, September and October. Revenues are collected by the Chesapeake Bay Region Cigarette Tax Commission which also receives taxes from 5 other localities. Officials say August revenues were lower because of the transition from local tax collection to the Commission.
