1ST AUGUST 2023 | ALCOHOL DUTY RATES HAVE CHANGED 

As set out in the Spring Budget 2023, the Government has changed the duty rate system on alcohol products as of 1st August 2023. Rates are now based on the % ABV of each product, in line with the Retail Price Index.

Duty for still and sparkling wines between 11.5-14.5% ABV will now be £2.67 ex. VAT per 75cl.

For still wines, this is an increase of 44p in duty payable per 75cl.

The duty premium for sparkling wines will end, resulting in a decrease in duty payable of 19p per 75cl.

VAT (currently at 20%) is applicable on top of this.

Duty and VAT are payable on release from bonded storage, e.g. on delivery to your home address, regardless of when the wine was purchased.
