(SINALEVI NOTE: Through Article 2 of Law No. 3021 of August 21, 1962, "Reform of the Customs Tariff for Beer, Cigarettes, and Soft Drinks," a tax of fifty-five céntimos (¢0.55) is created on the consumption of national and foreign beer for each container not exceeding 12 ounces, and when the sale is made in containers of greater capacity, the tax shall be paid proportionally. Likewise, numeral 3 of the cited law establishes that said tax replaces the taxes established on the consumption of national and imported beer referred to in this article. However, from the established tax, an amount equal to the proceeds of the tax cited by this law is reserved for the same purposes contemplated therein.)
