Alcoholic Drinks: Tax Allowances
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the Australian government's introduction of tax relief for distillers from July 2026 on the UK spirits industry.
Answered by James Murray
No formal assessment has been made by the department regarding this specific policy. As with all taxes, the Government keeps alcohol duty under review as part of its Budget process.
