Charlie Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have been contacted by multiple charity organizations lately wanting donations of spirits for events, auctions, etc. I am in North Carolina which is a control state. I would love to help these organizations but I am not sure if it is financially feasible. I know this is more of a question for my state ABC but can I just donate the spirit and pay the Fed taxes or do I need to repurchase my gin from a state ABC store? Since im not saleing it I would think I could donate it. Thanks, Alex Mauney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Tomaszewski Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Everyone wants their cut my friend. If the state isn't getting their tax, than I can almost promise you that you aren't legal. If you have a "gift shop" and can sell, than there's a possibility that you giving it away is legal because the taxes are paid. Bottom line, if the taxes aren't paid at all levels, you have to be cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
