Got Excise Tax?

Just in case you missed the email notice below from Mr. Christopher Goblet executive director of NM WINE... STOP CRAFT BEVERAGE EXCISE TAX INCREASES National Day of Action - Dec 1st, 2020 Our federal advocacy group, Wine America, has been busy working members of Congress to ensure the Craft Beverage Modernization & Tax Relief Act (CMBTRA) stays in place. They are once again asking the wine industry to take a moment to urge Congress to extend the CMBTRA. They have set up a website that allows you to input your address and zip code, and an automatic email will be sent to your House Member and both of your Senators. The website for the LAST CALL DAY OF ACTION is here: STOP CRAFT BEVERAGE EXCISE TAX INCREASES. Please do not use it until December 1st. You are also encouraged to share this link with your wine club or on social media. Here are some scripts that you can cut and paste if you want to help push this agenda December 1st. TEMPLATE EMAIL: Last year, Congress passed a one-year extension of the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act (CBMTRA) that will soon expire. CBMTRA is important to our business as it extends a federal excise tax reduction for craft beverage alcohol producers like us.  This allows us to make critical investments back into our business like:  Buying more grapes and fruit from farmers  Purchasing more equipment from manufacturers  Providing new job opportunities  Giving back to our community  Continuing to make great products for consumers like you to responsibly enjoy!  However, this one-year extension expires on December 31st, 2020. If Congress doesn’t act before then, craft beverage alcohol producers across the nation will face tax increases. We are already hurting economically due to COVID-19, and a tax increase would be devastating to many businesses like ours.  We need your help in urging Congress to #StopCraftTaxIncreases this year! How can you help? TAKE ACTION HERE and tell your Members of Congress how CBMTRA will impact our winery.  SOCIAL MEDIA POST: LAST CALL! We need YOUR help to urge Congress to #StopCraftTaxIncreases. If Congress doesn't pass CBMTRA BEFORE the end of the year then craft beverage alcohol producers will face a devastating tax increase. TAKE ACTION HERE: https://p2a.co/cbZswMu
