Government’s own figures show that last year’s historic duty increases are fuelling #inflation. If the Government is really serious about tackling inflation, then it must #CutDrinksDuty at next month’s Budget. 🍷🍸 #WSTA #WineAndSpirits

Important meeting with ⁦Gareth Davies MP⁩ ⁦HM Treasury⁩ - in advance of #Budget2024 ⁦⁦WSTA⁩ set out impact of historic duty rises in August And made case for #cut to #excise #duty and to maintain wine easement

🍷 🍸 👉🏼 Sales down 4 - 7% ⬇️ 👉🏼 Revenue for government down £436m in 5 months ⬇️ 👉🏼 Average prices up 8 - 17% ⬆️ The Chancellor should cut #duty & maintain the wine easement at #Budget2024 WSTA Daily Express

A reminder ahead of the #budget that the UK #wine trade faces huge new complexity next year Making the wine duty easement permanent stops new red tape. A #duty cut increases Gov't revenue. Both reduce inflation Sir Jeremy Hunt MP Gareth Davies MP HM Treasury WSTA #CutDrinksDuty

Sunak’s wine legacy. The highest rates of duty on wine in Europe, with 64 bands of duty (to replace just 2!) from 1 Feb 2025. Will the next government do the right thing - it’s a simple move - and help businesses and consumers? My monthly newsletter… newsletter.bauduc.com/t/y-e-mjyduyd-…

The UK wine trade is aligned on this: make the wine duty easement permanent. Allowing it to end on 01/02/2025 would introduce significant additional administration and cost - both inhibitors to growth James Murray Rachel Reeves Olivia Bailey MP HM Treasury WSTA #wine #duty
