Earlier this year, the American Craft Spirits Association (ACSA) partnered with DISCUS to work toward excise tax reform for all foreign and domestic spirits producers [see WSD 03-27-2015 ]. Today, the trade groups announced they have found sponsors for their bill: Congressmen Todd Young (Indiana) and John Yarmuth (Kentucky). The legislators have introduced the Excise Tax Reform Act of 2015 (HR2520), which would lower the current tax rate of $13.50 per proof gallon to $2.70 per proof gallon on the first 100,000 gallons for all distillers, as well as set a rate of $9 per proof gallon on all spirits above the 100,000 gallon threshold. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
