Alcohol Taxes, Reporting And Compliance for Beer, Wine and Hard Liquor

Whether you are a small operation just starting off, or an already-running business, our experts can help with your licensing and compliance needs. Our services range from assistance in obtaining your licenses, to getting your product approved and ready for market, to compliance needs such as tax and audit preparation, or changes on current licenses and registrations.

CIDERY

A licensed establishment where spirits are produced.

MEADERY

IMPORTER

A person or company that brings alcoholic beverages into the United States for the purposes of resale. Generally, importers sell to wholesalers.

A person or company that sells alcoholic beverages to the public. Retailers include bars, restaurants, liquor stores, taverns, etc. Generally, retailer must purchase alcoholic beverages from a wholesaler. WHOLESALER – A person or company that sells alcoholic beverages in large quantities at a lower or “bulk” price. Generally, wholesalers sell alcoholic beverages to retailers.

COLA – (Certificate of Label Approval)

A Certificate issued by the Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau stating that the label on your alcohol product conforms to Federal Laws and Regulations. There is an EXEMPTION to this certificate for certain products under a particular alcohol percentage, or products sold in a certain area. Even if the product is exempt, a certificate must be obtained confirming the exemption.

FORMULA

Similar to a COLA, this is a registration required by the Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. In short it is a recipe or list of ingredients as well as a method of production for your alcoholic beverage. Some ways that the Formula is used by TTB are 1) to ensure that your product is safe for human consumption, 2) to ensure that your product does not include prohibited ingredients 3) to classify the product for tax purposes.

TRANSFER IN BOND

TIED HOUSE LAWS/INTEREST

A common term in the alcoholic beverage industry describing the prohibition of “tied house” arrangements where there is overlapping ownership or interest in the manufacture, distribution, and retail sale of alcoholic beverages. Under “tied house” manufacturers such as breweries, wineries, or distilleries are prohibited from having a financial interest in distributors or retailers. Some exceptions to this rule apply pending on the State where the business is located.

Other Liquor Related Licenses And Issues – Federal Alcohol Permit

Depending on your specific circumstances you might need to have what’s popularly known as a Federal Liquor License. This can apply to you especially if you’re a manufacturer of alcohol, wholesaler or if you’d like to do import and export alcoholic beverages. The Federal Permit is just as important as your New York State license because it is essential in order for you to operate your business. We can get both your NY State Liquor License and Federal Permit simultaneously saving you time and headaches. Call us and find out if this permit applies to you and how we can help.

The right to sell liquor is something that many business people in the industry take for granted. Once you have your license make sure that you follow and respect all the rules that apply to your specific class.

If you are selling to the public, make sure you check ID’s. If you are a wholesaler, make sure you keep tabs on the sales and the taxes that you owe. Getting your own accountant is an important part of the process.

Warning For Retailers

Please remember that the Liquor Authority takes selling alcohol to minors very seriously. Just because someone looks older doesn’t mean that he or she is.

Such violations can attract heavy penalties and may shut down your business permanently. Make sure to ID any and all persons.
