Section 61A-4.031 - Delivery to Vendors and Accumulated Discounts
Current through Reg. 50, No. 187; September 24, 2024
Accrued, accumulative or retroactive discounts are prohibited by statute. Therefore, any discount given on the purchase of alcoholic beverages by a vendor must be given only on alcoholic beverages purchased in a single transaction. In order for quantity discounts on malt beverages to be granted, all of the quantity required to be purchased to qualify for the quantity discount must be delivered to a single location i.e., the total volume of malt beverages upon which the discount is based shall not be subdivided for delivery to multiple locations. However, the total quantity may be subdivided for delivery to a single licensed location or off-premise storage warehouse provided the total volume is delivered to that premise on a single day during the calendar week.
(1) Delivery of all alcoholic beverages purchased in a single transaction must be made during the same calendar week.
(2) Payment for alcoholic beverages purchased in a single transaction as defined by rule 61A-1.006, F.A.C., must be made within the period of time prescribed by law.
(3) Any discount given a vendor for the purchase of alcoholic beverages shall be a cash discount and shall be reflected on the invoice covering such sale.
