Alcohol Duty system changes are imminent

On 1 August 2023, the Alcohol Duty system will change, taxing all alcoholic drinks based on their alcohol by volume (ABV). This replaces the current Alcohol Duty system, which consists of four separate taxes covering beer, cider, spirits, wine and made-wine.

Small businesses as well as pubs and restaurants could benefit from reduced rates on qualifying products, such as draught beer and cider.
