What if a distillery or craft distillery licensee fails to report or pay, or reports or pays late?

Failure of a distillery or craft distiller to submit its monthly reports and payment to the board as required will be sufficient grounds for the board to suspend or revoke the liquor license.
Penalties. A penalty of two percent per month will be assessed on any payments postmarked after the twentieth day of the month following the month of sale. When the twentieth day of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday, the filing must be postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service no later than the next postal business day.
Absent a postmark, the date received at the Washington state liquor control board, or designee, will be used to determine if penalties are to be assessed.
