Redesign, Updating, and Posting of Alcohol Tax Policies – APIS has posted its new treatment of alcohol taxes, which replaces the previous alcohol tax data in the APIS Policy Topics section of the APIS Web site.  Beer, wine and distilled spirits taxes are treated as separate policies with data on each posted for the period 1/1/2003 through 1/1/2011.  The new posting replaces five alcohol tax policies, which had not been updated since 1/1/2007 and which included separate treatment of taxes on sparkling wine and flavored alcoholic beverages.
