Funds received from this tax can be used by a county for transportation -related expenses, including the reduction of bond indebtedness incurred for transportation purposes. Table 6.1 shows that funds received through the county fuel tax levy represented 0.35% of all revenue collected by Indian River County in FY 2010/11. Figure 6.13 shows that, over the last six fiscal years, county fuel tax revenue received by Indian River County decreased 10.38%. • Alcoholic Beverage License Tax Alcoholic beverage license taxes are levied on manufacturers, distributors, vendors, and sales agencies of alcoholic beverages in Florida.

Twenty-four percent of the license taxes imposed on the sale of beer, wine and liquor collected within a county is returned to the county Tax Collector. The remaining funds are used to operate the division and contribute to the operation of the Office of the Secretary of Business Regulation.
