The county cigarette tax shall be collected by the division of collection of the state department of revenue. The division shall each day retain, from the county tax collected, one percent of the amount collected and deposit that amount in the state general revenue fund to help defray the cost to the state of collecting and distributing this tax.
2. On the first of each month the division shall distribute the balance of the tax collected during the previous month to the county that levied the tax and the cities, towns and villages located within the county in the following manner: To the county which levied the tax, a percentage of the distributable revenue equal to the percentage ratio that the population of the unincorporated areas of that county bears to the total population of the county and to each city, town or village located wholly within the taxing county; a percentage of the distributable revenue equal to the percentage ratio that the population of such city, town or village bears to the total population of the incorporated area of the taxing county and to each city, town or village located partly within the taxing county; a percentage of the distributable revenue equal to the percentage ratio that the population of that part of the city, town or village located within the taxing county bears to the total population of the incorporated area of the taxing county; except that no city, town or village shall annually receive not less than an amount equal to the net revenue derived from its city cigarette tax in the year 1967.
