Spirit Prices Changing October 1, 2012

Please note that the next effective date for price changes is October 1, 2012. The prices in the July 29, 2012 book will only be effective for two (2) months instead of the normal three (3) month period. The reason for this change is to comply with the effective date of Public Act 166 of 2011 which repealed the specific tax equal to 1.85% of the retail selling price of spirits sold for consumption off the premises.

In addition to the mandated tax change, the Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) modified the rounding methodology used to compute base prices, On and Off Premises prices and the minimum shelf prices. As a result, the majority of prices will change October 1, 2012.
