darthmalz Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 do you pay Federal taxes on the spirits used for research and development, if those spirits are never bottled. Do you pay Federal taxes on spirits that you us for quality control? thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmdistilling Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I`m not a lawyer but my understanding is you pay taxes on any spirits leaving the distillery for sale. So for R&D you do not have to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pressure9pa Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I little off topic, but also be sure to research state and federal tax credits (not deductions) for R&D work. Generally supplies and wages related to R&D can also be elible for a credit. Consult a tax expert, which I am not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffw Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Check out 27 CFR part 19.459. It sort of details this. You can destroy spirits and then don't owe the taxes, though make sure you document that you voluntarily destroyed the spirits. I don't know if destroy is as simple as pouring down the drain.
