Taxes are a part of life but when it comes to small businesses, taxes can be the difference between opening one year and closing the next.
Small breweries have an even tougher road with the assumption of an excise tax, a cost they must pass on to consumers which most certainly affects their sales.
However, there has been some good news out of Washington lately as there is currently a bill in Congress that if voted to become law will “amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide a reduced rate of excise tax on beer produced domestically by certain small producers”.
And of course, here is where we all individually have an opportunity to help…
Contact your U.S. Representatives and Senators and ask them to become co-sponsors of the bill.
