Excise Required Field License For Free

The Excise Act and the Excise Act, 2001 (administered by the Canada Revenue Agency) require that a person obtain a licence under those federal statutes prior to producing or packaging wine, beer and/or spirits in Canada.

This allows you to sell packaged liquor on-site and/or online to the public. This can be a retail store or a point of sale only. There is a $110 application fee.

Spirits License It's what permits you to produce or package spirits (beverage alcohol that isn't wine, and is over 11.9% alcohol ? otherwise it's beer) in Canada, and to possess a still. If you've applied for a spirits license, you can possess a still, but can't operate it. Home distilling is illegal.

At a minimum, you should expect to budget $30,000 to start up a small craft distillery. By that, we mean, very, very small. If you want to be scalable, $200,000 is the estimate given by Kellie Shevlin, executive director of the Craft Beverage Expo.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regulates grocery stores and ensures that beer, wine and cider are: not sold to anyone under Ontario's legal drinking age of 19 or to intoxicated adults. sold by fully trained staff who ensure Ontario's standards for social responsibility are always met.

Excise duties are charged on spirits, wine, beer, and tobacco products. The rates of duty on spirits, wine and tobacco products are given in the Excise Act, 2001 and duty rates on beer are given in the Excise Act.

Excise taxes are taxes that are imposed on various goods, services and activities. Such taxes may be imposed on the manufacturer, retailer or consumer, depending on the specific tax.
