Liquor Tax Plan Upheld by House Ways and Means
Democratic members of the House Ways and Means committee approved major liquor tax provisions. A $2 per gallon levy on spirits would apply, with states kept out of the federal levy. Imported liquors would face a double tariff schedule to aid negotiations with exporters, while the current $5 per gallon spirits duty and existing alcohol taxes would remain for now to ensure revenue during the flush import period. Officials estimate massive spirits imports in the first full post-renewal year could yield $7500 000 to $10 000 000 in revenue. The administration also eyed broad reciprocal trade legislation from Congress.
