BAJA IMPOSES 4-1/2% ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE TAX

Udo - 2-1-2012 at 05:26 PM

Effective February 1, 2012, Decree #169 by the states of Baja Calfornia, a 4.5% sales tax will be in effect.
If you read the notice, you will notice that beer is exempt of the tax. Vinisfera.com reports that the beer companies had a very large lobby and thereby created themselves an exception.:o:lol::saint:

Is this tax revenue set up for any particular use?

Cancelled???

My (usually reliable) source within the Ensenada Municipal government says the Governor reversed (cancelled) the tax bill.

Continue the drinking!!!!
