Staff Analysis of the Legislation
|
This legislation increases the number of free samples of liquor from one to three per day by a distiller. The legislation also allows distillers to obtain a retail sales license from the state and sell two bottles, not to exceed 3 and 1/2 liters, directly to the public at the distillery without having to go through Georgia's three-tier distribution process. Distillers will be responsible for collecting and remitting the excise and sales taxes to the state and local governments. |
