BAJA IMPOSES 4-1/2% ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE TAX 
 
 
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.
