Apply the proposed 5% duty reduction on beer to any container over 30 litres

Closed 46 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the Government to extend the proposed beer duty relief on trade from containers over 40 litres to containers over 30 litres.
The current proposal to only allow the 5% reduction on beer in containers larger than 40 litres discriminates against smaller craft breweries, many of which use 30 litre kegs. The current proposal as it stands gives a direct advantage to large breweries and further disadvantages the craft brewery sector that is attempting to recover after a tough period.
