46.222—Determination of amount of tax due.
After the dealer has taken the inventory, the dealer must convert the inventory quantities to taxable units using the table below. For tobacco products, round the quantities to two decimal places. The dealer must then apply the applicable tax rate for each type of taxable article using the table in § 46.221 to determine the amount of tax due.

| Cigarette tubes more than 61/2″ in length | Mathematically adjust the number of cigarette tubes using the instructions below.* Divide the adjusted number of cigarette tubes by 50, add 1 if there is a remainder, and multiply that number by the cigarette tube tax rate. |
| *Large cigarettes, cigarette papers, and cigarette tubes more than 61/2 inch in length are counted as multiple units. Each 23/4 inch or fraction of the length is counted as a separate taxable unit. For each different length of product in this category, divide the length by 23/4 inch and add 1 to the result if there is a remainder. Multiply the number of cigarettes, cigarette papers, or tubes of that length by the resulting number. | |
