Pleased to be a co-signatory of this letter to the Chancellor asking for him to support our pubs and clubs (particularly "wet led") by introducing a specific Draft Beer Duty which would offer a lower level of duty for draft beer served at licensed premises.
This is a timely intervention as Treasury is currently considering its response to the Alcohol Duty Review, but by reducing the duty payable on draft beers by clubs and pubs, it would allow them to compete on a much more level playing field with supermarkets and off licences - particularly important as the economy starts its recovery from COVID.
