OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Relinquishment of damaged cans by distributor to licensed or unlicensed carrier.
- Georgia beer distributors do not have standing to sue for refund of beer tax paid on cans of beer subsequent to transfer of title from brewer to distributor; distributor, however, may relinquish damaged cans to carrier for claims salvage regardless of whether carrier has retail beer license, provided carrier does not resell damaged cans of beer. Such relinquishment to carrier is a sale within meaning of general law. 1970 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U70-162.
