PABLO, DIRECTOR OF TAXATION (OR DESIGNEE) COMMITIEE: FIN DATE: FEBRUARY 25, 2011 TIME: 6:00PM POSITION: SUPPORT This measure increases liquor tax rates but also reduces the liquor tax rate for small breweries or brewpubs that brew or produce beer in the State. This measure's liquor tax increase is similar to a provision in the Administration bill, HB 1062. The Administration supports increasing these types of taxes in these times of financial distress. The Department defers to DBEDT on the merits of providing a lower tax rate for small breweries and defers to the Attorney General on the constitutionality of providing a different tax rate for in-state breweries. In its current form, this measure's liquor tax increase is anticipated to increase general fund revenues by $23.4 million per year beginning FY 2012. However, the lower rate for small breweries is anticipated to result in a revenue loss of $2.1 million per year. The net revenue gain anticipated from this bill is thus $21.3 million per year.

  • American Winemaking Comes of Age | 1
    AMERICAN WINEMAKING COMES OF AGE | 1 American Winemaking Comes of Age Over the past three decades, a wine revolution has been taking place across the country, as Americans increasingly enjoy a glass of wine with their meals, vacation in “wine country,” and take immense pride in their regions’ vineyards and wineries. There are now more than 7,000 wine producers in the United States—up from 440 in 1970—and the boom has been heard around the world. America’s best bottles are every bit as good as the finest wines of Europe. Although the United States is a relative toddler as a winemaking and wine-drinking nation, hitting its stride in the mid-twentieth century while its European counterparts have been at full sprint for hundreds of years, the timeline of this relatively short enological development is surprisingly com- plex. The fifty states may be united as a nation, but when it comes to winemaking history, culture, and viticulture, each may as well be its own country. People were making wine here long before the nation even existed. French Huguenots built bases in Florida in the mid- 1500s and produced wine from the native Scuppernong grape (an acquired taste even today). Around 1607, English immi- grants seeking religious freedom landed on the Eastern seaboard of what would become America. Accustomed to drinking wine with their meals, the Pilgrims were pleased to find native grapevines, Vitis labrusca and Vitis rotundifolia, growing wild in their new home, but they were dismayed to discover that when fermented, these grapes made musky, unsavory wines—French clarets they were not.

BOX 259 HONOLULU, HAWAII 96809 PHONE NO: (808) 587-1540 FAX NO: (808) 587-1560 To: The Honorable Rosalyn H. Baker, Chair; The Honorable Stanley Chang, Vice Chair; and Members of the Senate Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection From: Isaac W. Choy, Director Department of Taxation Date: February 5, 2021 Time: 9:30 A.M. Place: Via Video Conference, State Capitol Re: S.B. 1232, Relating to Liquor The Department of Taxation (Department) offers the following comments regarding S.B. 1232, for your consideration. S.B. 1232 creates a three-year surcharge imposed in addition to the existing liquor tax under chapter 244D, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS). S.B. 1232's three-year surcharge is effective from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The Department notes that the wording imposing this surcharge is unnecessarily complex as it creates a separate calculation and imposition. The Department suggests amending the bill to simply increase the per-gallon liquor tax rates currently found in section 244D-4, HRS, by the desired amount per wine gallon. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on this measure.
