Beer distributors often talk about the important role distributors play in the collection of state and local excise taxes and how distributors are the most efficient way for states to collect these taxes.To legitimize and quantify distributors’ important role in tax collection, NBWA contracted KMPG’s Washington National Tax Office to conduct a study on the structure and administration of state and local taxes on the distribution and sale of beer.
