House Bill 212 seeks to change the liquor excise tax from a fixed amount of tax to a tax rate on the wholesale price. All wholesalers would pay an excise tax of six percent of the wholesale price of beer, nine percent of the wholesale price of wine, and twelve percent of the wholesale price of spirits. The tax on wholesale craft products is levied at the same proportion as it is currently.
