Every distributor subject to the licensing requirement of section 4402 shall file, on or before the last day of each month, a return on a form prescribed and furnished by the State Tax Assessor together with payment of the tax due under this chapter. The return must report all tobacco products held, purchased, manufactured, brought in or caused to be brought in from outside the State or shipped or transported to retailers within the State during the preceding calendar month. Every distributor shall keep a complete and accurate record at its principal place of business to substantiate all receipts and sales of tobacco products. [2009, c. 213, Pt. H, §2 (AMD).]

The return must include further information as the assessor may prescribe and must show a credit for any tobacco products exempted as provided in section 4403.

Tax previously paid on tobacco products that are returned to a manufacturer because the product has become unfit for use, sale or consumption may be taken as a credit on a subsequent return upon receipt of the credit notice from the original supplier. [2007, c. 438, §102 (AMD).]
