<p>The government remains committed to supporting pubs and we have taken action to
this end – including cuts to business rates worth over £10 billion by 2023 and a £1,000
business rates discounts for small and medium pubs.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, at
Autumn Budget 2017 the government announced a freeze to all alcohol duties. Cuts to
alcohol taxes since 2013 mean the average tax on a pint of beer is estimated to be
12p lower than it otherwise would have been, showing the government’s continued support
for the country’s local pubs.</p><p> </p>
