Forbes: Bill In Congress Aims To Stop Kombucha From Being Taxed Like Beer
Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and U.S. Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) have reintroduced the KOMBUCHA Act, a legislation aimed at eliminating federal alcohol taxes on kombucha companies. Kombucha is a fermented drink made from tea, sugar, bacteria, and yeast, with alcohol levels typically below 0.5%. Under current tax code, kombucha is subject to the same excise taxes as beverages with significantly higher alcohol content. The KOMBUCHA Act seeks to exempt kombucha with an ABV of less than 1.25% from these excise taxes.
