HCI DISTRIBUTION - SOVEREIGNTY & TAX

Sovereignty & Tax

Tribal Tobacco Tax Infrastructure

As a tribally owned company HCI Distribution understands the complex sovereignty and tax issues that affect your tribe and business. We have substantial experience with state and tribal tax codes and compacts as well as the requirements some states impose on distributors conducting business with tribes.

With our knowledge and resources we can assist you in setting up a tribal tax system or negotiating a more favorable compact. Our comprehensive knowledge comes in part from development of the General Revenue and Tax Code for the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and we can work with you too, on details including:

Tribal Tax Ordinance	Tax Stamps & Licenses	Forms & Records
Tribal Tax Commission	Administrative Rules & Procedures

HCI Distribution has the knowledge and expertise to help you:

Cancel or renegotiate existing state tax compacts
Leverage Tribal Sovereignty with a Tribal Tax System
Start selling HCI Distribution Tribal Tobacco as part of a Nation-to-Nation tobacco supply chain

As a member of our Nation-to-Nation tobacco supply chain your Tribe sells within your tribal tax system; outside the state tax system. HCI Distribution can help you do what needs to be done to set it up. We will then stamp your cigarettes and tobacco products with the appropriate state, tribal or Native American stamp and ship it to you.

Tribal Tax Revenue Split

On cancellation of your current state tax agreement and adoption of a tribal tax code,
your tribe will receive 100% of the tax benefit.
