offsaleprivileges

After our conversation at the meeting on Sunday, I did some research on the issue of Off-Sale Privileges. The following came off the State Liquor Commission Website under FAQ's - Glossary of Terns. We are not allowed to sale off-sale.

Nebraska sales tax - all alcoholic beverages sold at the retail level are subject to sales tax, this includes products containing less than 1/2 of one percent of alcohol by volume. The sales tax does not have to be separately stated and collected from the customer on sales of alcoholic beverages which are consumed on the premise of the retailer; for example, the selling price for a glass of beer can include the sales tax.

Non alcoholic beverage - if the beverage has any alcohol in it, even 1%. You have to be twenty-one to purchase this beverage.

Non beverage user - every manufacturer of any of the products set forth and described in subsection (4) of section 53-160, when such product contains alcoholic liquor, and all laboratories, hospitals, and sanatoria using alcoholic liquor for non beverage purposes.

Non profit corporation - any corporation organized under the laws of this state, not for profit, which has been exempted from the payment of federal income taxes.

Non profit licenses - a nonprofit license may be either a Class H or a Class C license. A nonprofit Class H or C is restricted to consumption on the premise only and to members and guests only. There are no off-sales privileges. A letter of exemption from the Internal Revenue Service must be filed with the Commission. Membership cards and/or sign in sheets are not required by the Liquor Control Act. *

Nude dancing - no person under the age of nineteen is to be employed to provide sexually explicit entertainment; nor shall any person under the age on nineteen be employed or permitted within a licensed premise while unclothed in any sexually explicit manner. You need to check with your local governing body also to see if there are any local ordinances or restrictions also.

* Even though sign in sheets are not required by the Liquor Commission they are needed to establish your non-related income.
