The committee also kept alive a cheap cigarettes online store proposed hike in gasoline and diesel taxes.
Rep. Larry Ferguson, R- Cleveland, proposed the tax hike to raise money for the state's ailing highways and bridges.

"We don't want to put anyone out of business, and we don't want to force anyone across the state line to get their gas or diesel," Ferguson said, "so it is something we have to be careful on.

The House Revenue and Taxation Committee also:
Approved a bill that would restore a cheap cigarettes online store sales-tax exemption on class rings that was removed by lawmakers a year ago. HB 1002 is authored by Speaker of the House Larry Adair, D-Stilwell.

Killed a proposed tax on soft drinks put cheap cigarettes online store forward by Rep. Jerry Ellis, D-Valiant. The bill did not get a second after a soft- drink executive said his industry did not favor the levy.

The company bills itself as "The last refuge of the cheap cigarettes online store persecuted smoker."
A 10-pack carton of Marlboros sells for less than $30 on the site, compared with as much as $50 in Washington.Mark Green (R-Wis.) and Marty Meehan (D-Mass.) will introduce legislation Thursday to strengthen federal regulations on tobacco sales over the Internet.The lawsuit seeks to invoke the Jenkins Act, a decades-old federal law that requires cheap cigarettes online store dealers who ship cigarettes to customers in another state to provide that state's authorities with a list of customers every month. The law was designed to prevent large-scale tax evasion, and the state argues that it applies to Internet sales.
But Matthew Fairshter, the company's lawyer, argues that the law was designed to regulate the shipment of untaxed cigarettes from one state into another. The smokes sold by dirtcheapcigs.com are all duly taxed in Kentucky, he argues.
"They're not buying untaxed cigarettes, which is what the Jenkins Act is all about," Fairshter said. "The Jenkins Act does not regulate this issue."
Fairshter also argued that the state's lawsuit cheap cigarettes online store violates the Internet Tax Freedom Act, which protects online sales from taxation except where the transaction actually takes place.
"This company operates out of Paducah, Kentucky," Fairshter said. "It does no business in the state of Washington."

That puts the burden of paying any taxes on the consumer, who typically doesn't show much interest in paying.Enforcing the use tax is virtually impossible except on large items such as boats or cars that must be registered with the state.
