Trade Body Advocates for Beer Duty Freeze to Support Jobs
What happened
The BBPA warned that pubs and brewers require support to protect jobs and keep pints affordable. The trade body advocated for freezing beer duty at its current rate and increasing the draught relief to 30%. BBPA analysis indicates the South East would see the largest jobs boost from these measures.
Why it matters
The BBPA noted that beer duty accounts for up to 40% of the wholesale price of beer, while pubs and brewers receive small margins per unit. The proposed changes aim to support 7,100 additional jobs across the sector, including 3,400 roles for under-25s.
