OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ Teams of Oklahoma Tax Commission agents will be going across Oklahoma in the coming weeks to crack down on merchants who may be selling untaxed tobacco products.
And smokers who buy cigarettes on the Internet are also being warned to pay taxes or face possible consequences.
Tax Commission spokeswoman Paula Ross says tax agents are now checking retailers in northeastern Oklahoma to look for unstamped or improperly stamped cigarettes or other untaxed tobacco products.
And she says federal law requires people who sell items on the Internet to make monthly reports of the sales to each state.
Ross says a Michigan taxpayer was recently billed $4,797 by that state for unpaid cigarette taxes.
