Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission to Collect Taxes at Ports


Recommended Posts

In January the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) is going to start collecting taxes on alcohol and cigarettes purchased while on a cruise and being brought back through the ports. I heard it on the radio this morning. The news lady asked the TABC spokesperson about the duty free shops and she said the items purchased there are free of Federal taxes but not state taxes. Texas has been collecting state taxes at the border with Mexico for some time. This is just enforcing a law that has been on the books for some time.
