YAKIMA — The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a cigarette manufacturer on the Yakama Nation Indian Reservation is on the hook for $58 million in unpaid federal taxes. The Yakima Herald-Republic reported that the court opinion filed Monday rejects arguments by King Mountain Tobacco, which claimed it was exempt from federal excise taxes because of a treaty and other tribal land laws. The tobacco company is privately owned but licensed by the tribe.
