INTRODUCTION
Numerous options could modernize the taxation of alcoholic
beverages. These include: adjusting rates for past inflation, taxing alcohol content
equally regardless of beverage type, and indexing tax rates to account for future
inflation.
The best approach for your state will depend on a variety of
factors, including current tax levels, the political situation, and the objectives of the
tax increase.
