80 UK brewers and pub groups, including Heineken, Budweiser, and JD Wetherspoon, demand beer duty cuts and business rate reform.
80 UK brewers and pub groups, including Heineken, Budweiser, and JD Wetherspoon, have demanded immediate beer duty cuts and a radical reform of business rates. The industry representatives argue that British beer drinkers pay 54p per pint in duty, compared to 5p in Germany and Spain. They also claim that pubs pay up to four times the business rates of other comparable businesses and call for a "step change" to secure the industry's future and promote its unique cultural value.
