Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the electronic filing of tax returns for brewers and distillers
Purpose
This bill allows for any brewer or distiller to file their tax returns electronically.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: amends section 429 of the tax law by adding subdivision 5, which directs the commissioner to provide for any brewer or distiller the ability to electronically file their tax returns.
Section 2: sets the effective date.
Justification
Under current law, brewers and distillers do not have the ability to electronically file their tax returns. State law mandates the collection of excise taxes for alcoholic products produced, yet these producers do not have a viable electronic filing resource for these taxes. Currently, brewers and distillers must fill out and mail the forms needed to pay these taxes, which is time consuming and burdensome. Brewers and distillers keep records electronically, so allowing electronic filing saves time of re-recording information and will help reduce errors in reporting. Brewers and distillers will only have to fill out the paperwork online before filing instantly with instant payment to the state, saving time spent mailing, cost of postage, and the time waiting for payment to be received by the State.
