Information Sessions
Regarding Cook County Beverage Tax
Dear NAMA Members in Illinois:
NAMA’s Government Affairs Team has been informed that the Cook County Department of Revenue will be hosting information sessions regarding the beverage tax.
Two meetings will be held for industry associations, organizations and large wholesalers/retailers, or representatives that operate in Cook County, to discuss outstanding questions related to the implementation of the new tax. At the initial meeting staff will be fielding questions from attendees related to the administration of the tax. Any questions that cannot be addressed immediately will be responded to at the subsequent follow-up meeting. NAMA strongly encourages you (or someone from your team) to attend the sessions.
If you are interested in attending either session, please provide the name and company of each attendee to sedwards@namanow.org ASAP, and the Cook County staff will extend formal invitations to those identified to attend.
