Bill > HF2745

This bill clarifies monthly tax return requirements for certain brewers in Minnesota by modifying existing tax reporting regulations. Specifically, the bill amends a current statute to exempt qualified brewers (as defined in a separate section of law) from having to file monthly tax returns when no tax is actually due. Previously, all manufacturers, wholesalers, brewers, and importers were required to file monthly returns by the 18th day of each calendar month, regardless of whether they had a tax liability. Under the new provision, qualified brewers will not need to submit a return if they have no tax to pay, which should reduce administrative burden for smaller brewing operations. The changes will take effect for returns due by July 18, 2025, and subsequent months, giving businesses time to adapt to the new reporting requirements. The bill maintains existing requirements for other types of alcohol manufacturers and distributors to continue filing comprehensive monthly tax returns with the commissioner.
