Bill > HR2238

This bill, the Craft Beverage Bond Simplification Act of 2015, aims to ease tax filing and bonding requirements for small craft beverage producers, specifically those dealing with distilled spirits, wine, or beer. Under current law, these businesses often need to post a bond, a financial guarantee, to cover their excise tax liabilities. This bill proposes to eliminate the bond requirement for taxpayers whose annual excise tax liability is $50,000 or less. Furthermore, for those with an even smaller tax liability, expecting to owe no more than $1,000 per year and having owed no more than $1,000 in the previous year, the bill allows them to file and pay their excise taxes annually instead of quarterly, simplifying their administrative burden.
