The New York Cigarette Tax Refund Application is a form used by retailers in New York State to apply for a refund of the state’s cigarette tax. The form is used to submit claims for refunds to the Department of Taxation and Finance for overpaid taxes due to price fluctuations. There are two types of New York Cigarette Tax Refund Applications, the Retailer Refund Application and the Wholesaler Refund Application. The Retailer Refund Application is used by retailers to apply for a refund of the state’s cigarette tax when the purchase price of the cigarettes is lower than the amount of the tax. The Wholesaler Refund Application is used by wholesalers to apply for a refund of the state’s cigarette tax when the sale price of the cigarettes is lower than the amount of the tax. Both applications require retailers and wholesalers to provide information regarding the purchase price of the cigarettes, the amount of taxes paid, and the amount of the refunds requested.
