	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2023 answer text <p>The Government believes that pubs make an important contribution to our culture, fostering a sense of place and community, and the UK economy. And we understand the challenges pubs are facing.</p><p> </p><p>That is why the new alcohol duty system implemented on 1 August 2023 included a new Draught Relief that provides a significant duty discount on alcohol sold in containers of 20 litres or more in pubs and other on-trade venues. As well as this, the Government’s ‘Brexit Pubs Guarantee,’ confirms that the duty on a draught pint will always be lower than its equivalent in a supermarket.</p><p> </p><p>Pubs also benefit from a broader package of business rates support worth £13.6bn over the next five years, including a Retail, Hospitality and Leisure (RHL) relief scheme which increased from 50% to 75% relief in 2023-24. And community assets have benefitted from the Community Ownership Fund, which has allocated £49.3m to 195 projects across the UK, including pubs.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Gareth Davies question first answered 19/10/2023 14:53:45 answering member 4850 label Biography information for Gareth Davies

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2023 answer text <p>On 19 December, the Government announced a six-month extension of the current alcohol duty freeze to 1 August 2023. Beer duty is now at its lowest level in real terms since the 1990s.</p><p> </p><p>Through the alcohol duty reforms, which will be introduced on 1 August this year, pubs and breweries will benefit from a new Draught Relief, providing a duty discount for draught products under 8.5% ABV sold in pubs. Small to medium sized producers will also benefit from an improved Small Producer Relief, building on the existing Small Brewers Relief which the sector has benefitted from for over 20 years.</p><p> </p><p>Businesses in the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors will receive a tax cut worth over £2 billion in 2023-24. Eligible properties will receive 75% off their business rates bill, up to a cap of £110,000 per business.</p><p> </p><p>Through the new Energy Bills Discount Scheme, all eligible businesses will receive a discount on high energy bills until 31 March 2024. The Government provided an unprecedented package of support through this winter, and we have been clear that such levels of support were time-limited and intended as a bridge to allow businesses to adapt.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 27/02/2023 13:34:29 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
