Del. Krupicka seeks big increase in cigarette taxes
File this in the “probably not going far in 2015” category: Del. Rob Krupicka (D-45th) has introduced legislation calling for a massive increase in Virginia’s cigarette taxes.
Under Krupicka’s proposal, the state tax would rise from the current 30 cents to $2 per pack, and the excise tax on “roll-your-own” tobacco would increase from 10 percent of the manufacturer’s sales price to 60 percent.
