Big Kombucha lobbying for tax code reforms

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 1, 2016

Kombucha Brewers International, a trade organization for makers of the fermented tea drink beloved by hipsters everywhere, is lobbying the federal government for reforms to the Internal Revenue Code.

Sales of the slightly alcoholic beverage are subject to the same Internal Revenue Code rules as other alcohol sales when the drink's alcohol levels reach 0.5 percent or higher.

The trade group is contracting with law firm McDermott Will and Emery to lobby on its behalf for "legislative changes to the Internal Revenue Code to enhance the marketability of kombucha." 

Lobbyists listed on the disclosure form are David Ransom, who formerly worked as communications director to Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and to the House Administration Committee, and Erica Stocker, previously deputy chief of staff to former Rep. Jim Saxton (R-N.J.).

Subjects: Kombucha Brewers International; David Duane Ransom; Erica D. Stocker; McDermott Will & Emery LLP; Former Rep. Jim Saxton (R-NJ); Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD); House Administration Committee
