As of 2023, all drinks are set to be taxed in proportion to their alcohol content, following the government’s announced plans to reform the alcohol taxation system
The move came as Kwarteng said he had “listened to industry concerns about the ongoing reforms”.
An 18-month transitional measure for wine duty and an extended draught relief to smaller kegs were also included in the measures changed in a bid to help support smaller breweries.
