Abstract

The image contains a news item about the tax reduction request for the Bavaria brewery: The Bavaria brewery, run by Mr Kopp, has submitted a request to the Municipality to reduce the taxes charged to it. Compared to other breweries, Bavaria pays a higher tax, which they consider unfair. They argue that their beer is of high quality and its selling price is higher, so the tax should be proportional. The high price of the bottle of Bavaria makes it considered a luxury drink and not accessible to the average worker. This limits its consumption to people with greater financial capabilities. However, the brewery maintains that if they were allowed to sell their beer at a lower price, it would become more popular and benefit the community. The current tax on breweries is regulated by Decree No. 60 of 1905, which allows the Municipality to charge up to $0.20 paper money per liter of beer. However, Bavaria pays $1.50 paper money for every dozen half bottles, which is equivalent to 20% of the value of the product. The Bavaria factory requests a reduction in the value of taxes due to the difficult economic situation in the country and its impact on the company. They propose that the tax be reduced to less than the $200 per month they have been paying. It is argued that this would help alleviate the company's financial burden and promote consumption of its product. In conclusion, the Bavaria brewery requests a reduction in the taxes charged to them, arguing that the price of their product and the quality justify a lower tax. They also highlight the difficult economic situation of the country as an additional reason for requesting this reduction. The proposal to reduce the tax to $1 paper money per dozen half bottles of beer is considered reasonable and beneficial to the company. News published in the Municipal Registry on August 31, 1910
