Beer: Excise Duties
(asked on 16th July 2020) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of a reduction in beer duty for the independent brewery sector for the rest of the 2020-21 financial year, in response to the covid-19 outbreak.
This question was answered on 23rd July 2020
The Treasury froze beer duty at the recent Budget. This means that the beer duty rate is the same in 2020-21 as in 2019-20. Thanks to decisions by this Government, the beer duty rate has been unchanged since 2017.
The Treasury keeps all taxes, including beer duty, under review.
