METHODOLOGY:
This bill requires beverage manufacturers that sell beer at farmers' markets to pay the existing beer tax, pursuant to RSA 178:26, which is $0.30 for each gallon sold or transferred. Current law does not require beverage manufacturers to pay the beer tax on product sold at farmers' markets. The New Hampshire Liquor Commission estimates this bill will cause state revenue to increase by a minimal amount and it does not anticipate any additional expenditures resulting from this bill.
