Beer Tax Program

Beer Tax responsibilities and the USAAV+ Advisory Council  are in the process of moving to the Office of Substance Use and Mental Health. During this transition we ask for patience and someone from the Office of Substance Use and Mental Health will be in contact sometime in September. In the meantime, we ask that you hold onto your Beer Tax reports as our office is no longer collecting them.
