CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TAX AND FEE ADMINISTRATION
INSTRUCTIONS
CIGARETTE DISTRIBUTOR/IMPORTER TAX REPORT
GENERAL
The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) is responsible for administering the California Cigarette Tax Law.
Cigarette distributors/importers in California are required to report all receipt, distribution, and inventory information for cigarettes in
this state.
CDTFA-501-CD, Cigarette Distributor/Importer Tax Report, allows cigarette distributors to report receipt, distribution, and inventory
information. Do not report cigarettes returned to you by your customers. Every distributor/importer is required to keep daily records
of the number of tax stamps used in their affixing operations. Distribution includes the sale of untaxed cigarettes, the use or
consumption of untaxed cigarettes, and the placing of untaxed cigarettes into a vending machine or retail stock. Sale of cigarettes
from one distributor to another distributor is taxable. An appropriate stamp shall be affixed to packages of cigarettes sold to
another distributor.
FILING REQUIREMENTS
Every cigarette distributor/importer in this state must file this report and supporting schedules on or before the 25th day of the
month following the monthly reporting period. The report must cover all cigarette and stamp transactions for the entire month. Do
not report cigarettes you previously sold or distributed (cigarettes returned to you by your customers). Cigarettes returned to you
by your customers may be reintroduced into your physical inventory, but may not be reported on this form or its supporting
schedules. For audit purposes, you should document the receipt of cigarettes returned to you by your customers and the
redisbursement of returned cigarettes in your recordkeeping journals and retain all supporting documents.
The supporting schedules with the appropriate Tax Jurisdiction Codes (TJC), including TJC F, are considered an integral part of the
report and must be submitted with this report. Your report is not considered valid unless it is signed and dated in the space
provided at the bottom of the second page. You must file a report even if you have no activity for the reporting period. A copy of
the report, together with all supporting records, should be retained at the licensed premises for verification by CDTFA auditors.
Adjustments or corrections to a report for a prior month should be made on an amended report for that month. Do not show such
adjustments on this report.
If you have a cycle count inventory system and perpetual inventory system in place, the monthly statement shall be based on the
perpetual inventory report run on the last business day of the month for which the distributor's report is filed. However, at least
once every calendar year, the monthly statement shall be based on a physical inventory of cigarettes on hand on the last business
day of the month for which the distributor's report is filed. A "cycle count inventory system" is a system that provides evidence that
all cigarettes are counted on a regular basis, with each item being counted at least once every three-month period. A "perpetual
inventory system" is a system in which inventory records are maintained and updated continuously as items are purchased or sold.
If you do not have a cycle count inventory system and perpetual inventory system in place, the monthly statement shall be based
on the inventory on hand at the end of the month covered by the report. However, at least once every six months, the monthly
statement shall be based on a physical inventory of cigarettes on hand performed within the last five days of the month for which
the distributor's report is filed.
ACCOUNTABILITY
It is important that you include all required transactions on this report and the supporting schedules. The CDTFA will compare your
receipts to the distributions manufacturers reported on their respective tax forms. Information on this report will be shared with, and
used by, other government agencies. Failure to report fully may result in the CDTFA contacting you to determine why your reports
differ from reports submitted by third parties.
PREPARATION OF SCHEDULES
CDTFA-810-CTI,
Cigarette Tax Receipt Schedule, and CDTFA-810-CTF, Cigarette Tax Disbursement Schedule, must be submitted
with every CDTFA-501-CD, Cigarette Distributor/Importer Tax Report, to support applicable activities during the reporting period.
For detailed information regarding preparation of the schedules, see CDTFA-810-CTE, Instructions for Preparing Cigarette Tax
Schedules, on our website at www.cdtfa.ca.gov.
