<p>Consumers, local pubs and breweries have benefitted significantly from freezes
and cuts to beer and other alcohol duties in recent years. After the cuts and freezes
we have made to beer duty since 2013, the average tax in 2018 on a typical pint of
beer is expected to be 12p lower than it would otherwise have been.</p><p> </p><p>However
this comes at significant cost to the Exchequer. Since 2013/14, cuts and freezes to
alcohol duties have cost approximately £4 billion.</p><p> </p><p>This is equivalent
to over 100,000 teachers’ yearly salaries.</p>
