No one likes to see added fees or extra charges added to their receipts, but recently a post circulating the internet and social media showing Target charging a 鈥淪pirits Fee鈥� had some customers raising their eyebrows.

成人X站 7 showed the receipt to the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board who said:

That particular White Claw product is considered a distilled spirt so it鈥檚 subject to two wholesale excise taxes, the 17% ‘Spirits Fee’ a retail sales tax and Target鈥檚 markup. Our auditors have actually reviewed Target receipts such as this. Where it says ‘Spirits Fee’ it really contains another excise tax (collected by Dept. of Revenue), the 17% (collected by LCB) and the markup. A more accurate reading would have said 鈥淪pirits Tax, excise and sales tax, and Markup.鈥�

鈥淪aying it鈥檚 a fee gets us to question it,鈥� Thomas Hulm, a Target customer said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 poorly labeled, it should be labeled a tax, a state liquor tax if that鈥檚 what it is.鈥�

A spokesperson for Target also confirmed that it is in fact state tax and not a fee. They also told us that Target is looking into the matter.

They don鈥檛 know how long the label has been in use, but 成人X站 7 found at least one receipt showing the 鈥淪pirits Fee鈥� going back to 2023.
