Legislature Split on Beer Tax in Arkansas Senate Passes Version
The Arkansas General Assembly split on the beer tax with the Senate approving the administration's plan to raise the beer tax from $5 to $7.50 per 2 1/ 2 barrel, while the House defeated it 69 to 68 and the measure failed to pass. The House approved an emergency clause for the mixed drink bill and sent a version of the documentary stamp tax measure to final debate. The Senate advanced a plan to tax corporate income with a stepped rate structure, and an amendment to the corporate income tax bill was adopted. The beer tax would generate about $1.5 million in new revenue, amid compromise on the $2.50 increase reached by House negotiators.
