GENERAL
The California State Board of Equalization (Board) administers the California Alcoholic Beverage Tax Law, which includes the
state excise tax on wine. The tax rates as they relate to wine are shown on this return.
Report all alcoholic beverages in wine gallons. To convert liters to wine gallons, multiply the quantity in liters by 0.264172.
Round the resulting figure(s) to the nearest gallon.
FILING REQUIREMENTS
Every licensed winegrower or wine blender shall, on or before the fifteenth day of each month, or on or before the fifteenth day
of the month following the close of such other reporting period authorized by the Board, file a tax return of all sales of wine for
the reporting period. A return must be filed each reporting period regardless of whether any tax is due. The report must be
completed in every detail and supported by the necessary supplemental report on form BOE-269-A. A remittance for the
amount due as shown must accompany the return. A duplicate of the return should be retained on the licensed premises for
verification by Board auditors.
INTEREST AND PENALTY FOR LATE FILING
California law imposes a penalty for the late filing of this return regardless of whether any tax is due. The penalty for late payment
of tax is 10 percent (0.10) of the amount of tax due together with interest on the tax from the date on which the tax is due and
payable until the date of payment. The penalty for the late filing of this return is $50.00. The penalties imposed shall be limited to
either $50.00, or 10 percent (0.10) of the amount of tax due, whichever is greater. The Board is authorized by law, for good
cause, to extend the time for the filing of this return not to exceed one month. Any request for an extension should be made in
writing addressed to the Board in Sacramento.
