Law No. 7, 1953
Alcoholic beverages, being a luxury item, have long been subject to a significant national tax.
Since the tax is levied at the stage of manufacturer shipment, it is essential that this tax is reliably passed on to consumers through the transaction of alcoholic beverages.
Therefore, as its name suggests, this law aims to protect the alcohol tax revenue and govern matters concerning the alcoholic beverage industry.
