Alcoholic Drinks: Excise Duties
(asked on 6th February 2020) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what fiscal steps he is taking to support UK drinks manufacturers following the removal of post duty point dilution.
This question was answered on 11th February 2020
The upcoming changes to discourage post duty point dilution are intended to bring the wine category into alignment with the rules affecting other alcoholic products. UK drinks manufacturers have been given over 18 months’ notice to adapt their business models. However, the Treasury keeps all taxes under review, including their impact on drink manufacturers.
