70-3-5 Evidence admissible to establish cost

The Business Tax Division shall appear at the hearing on an alleged violation of the Act and give testimony and evidence establishing the relevant basic cost of cigarettes and tobacco products and the minimum wholesale/retail price of such products based upon the provisions of the Unfair Cigarette and Tobacco Products Sales Act (68 O.S. §§326 et seq.), and such other evidence as may relate to the complaint. It shall be a rebuttable presumption that the basic cost to the wholesaler and to the retailer is that defined in the Act, unless a lesser cost can be established by competent evidence, as set out in the Act.
