United Kingdom: Changes to UK Alcohol Tax Rates May Challenge US Exports of Some Alcoholic Beverages
Changes to UK alcohol tax rates were implemented on August 1, 2023. The UK government calls this an alcohol duty, but it is an excise tax charged at the point of production or importation of drinks of alcoholic strength exceeding 1.2 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) – the percentage of pure alcohol per liter of product.
The United Kingdom (UK) and member states of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) signed the agreement to join the CPTPP in July 2023.
