Revenue Agent Jamen R. Jetton from Murfreesboro visited Lynchburg Tennessee to assess privilege taxes owed by Jack Daniel of the Old Times Distillery. Daniel sold liquor in quart and pint quantities to consumers without a proper retail license, claiming wholesale status. State law defines wholesale as five quarts or more, retail as under five gallons, and federal licensing influenced liability. Daniel paid the demanded retail tax after Clerk W J Morris’s challenge, as Jetton upheld the Clerk’s interpretation. The case hinges on whether a wholesale dealer is liable for tippler’s tax when selling to consumers in quart or larger quantities.
If Mr Jetton's construction of the law is correct the State is in a fair way to recover thousands of dollars of back taxes from the wholesale liquor dealers of the State.
