Description

All cigarettes and tobacco products brought into Oregon are subject to State tax. This license is required for all persons who distribute/wholesale cigarettes and/or other tobacco products in Oregon for resale. A distributor license is required for persons who purchase untaxed product and cause it to be brought into Oregon for resale. The Wholesale license is for persons who purchase already taxed product and resale it to retailers. After a person (i.e. corporation, LLC, partnership, sole proprietor) submits the application, the Oregon Department of Revenue assigns a license number and provides the licensee with all the necessary return reporting documents to pay the tax.
