Maryland Alcohol, Tobacco, and Cannabis Commission

Regulatory Submissions

Alcohol and tobacco licensees are required to submit a variety of reports based on their production, sales, and deliveries. 

Alcohol report requirements, including due dates and submittal instructions, are emailed directly to license and permit holders. 

It’s important to note that these ATCC reports are separate from your regular tax return filings you submit to the Maryland Comptroller. The ATCC is focused on industry regulation and consumer protection, and the Comptroller of Maryland is focused on tax collection and fiscal matters. The information submitted allows the ATCC to better understand what products are being made and sold across Maryland. 

Tobacco report requirements are outlined below, with additional information on corresponding pages.
