Shannon Sexton: There are 2 components to alcohol sales taxes

One is state; it's shared. One is local, Adair would keep it all

Shannon writes:
Brandon, nice article and thank you for sharing it. The state and the local government both tax alcohol sales. As the article you shared shows, state taxes are collected and then spread out to all of Kentucky as various state funded items. It's the local tax (city/county) that we get to keep. I've included a link, Corbin rakes in over $721,000 in alcohol taxes; nearly $200,000 more than expected showing what Corbin, Ky collected in local alcohol tax. I'll also send an alcohol purchase receipt showing both taxes, state and local, being charged on the purchase. Thanks again for the questions! We are all learning together and we want everyone to be as informed as possible.
