HM Treasury keeps all taxes, including alcohol duties, under review.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has assessed that the increase in alcohol duty rates in line with inflation at the last budget is likely to lead to a minor decrease in overall alcohol consumption in the UK.<\/p>
<\/p>
Further information on the impact of the alcohol duty changes can be found on the associated Tax Information and Impact Note, published in October 2018: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/increase-in-alcohol-duty-rates/alcohol-duty-uprating<\/a><\/p>"}
