The new alcohol duty system was implemented on 1 August 2023 and moves all alcohol to taxation by strength for the first time. The rates were set at the right level to support businesses and meet public health objectives.</p><p> </p><p>We have implemented these broad reforms across the whole of the UK: taxation by strength, Draught Relief, and Small Producer Relief.
