What Is An Excise Tax And Why Do I Have To Pay So Much?

December 22nd, 2009 by admin | 3 Comments | Filed in life logistics

During a portion of 2005 and 2006 I purchased a total of 18 cartons of cigarettes online for a discounted rate. These were not sold, they were for my own personal use, also for my boyfriend.
I received a bill today in the mail for almost $500 for sales and excise tax. The sales tax total is $60.00, but the excise tax is $420.00. What exactly is the excise tax and how is the state of NJ able to charge me the excise tax and is there anything I can do to reduce these charges?
I just wanted to get some answers before I called and paid anything.
