Monthly returns and payment of additional charges required

In plain English

People or companies that make, blend, bottle, or bring alcohol into Missouri to sell must pay special fees and file a report every month by the 15th. The report explains how much alcohol was sold or brought in the month before, and payment goes with the report. If someone does not pay on time, extra fees and interest get added on top of what is owed.
