Alcohol Duties

Alcohol duties are taxes imposed by the government on alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, and spirits. These duties are designed to regulate consumption, generate revenue, and address public health concerns related to alcohol use. The amount of duty varies based on the type and strength of the beverage, encouraging responsible drinking. Revenues from alcohol duties fund various public services, including healthcare and education. By applying these taxes, governments aim to balance economic interests with social responsibility, promoting safer drinking habits while also benefiting society financially.
