Winegb, the commercial organization that represents the British wine industry, has warned the UK government against being “wise and brilliant” of the fool “with the money that was created through its recent outputs imposed.
As of February 1, the UK government imposed new wine tax rates, coinciding with the end of the wine goal.
Treasury repair affects the wine tax on bottles between 11.5 % and 14.5 % of alcohol, a category representing 85 % of all wine sales in the UK. This transformation offered 30 fees fees within this range.
As such, the red color will see by 14.5 %, for example, an increase of 2.67 pounds to 3.21 pounds per bottle – a 20 % jump. In August 2023 increases, the service on the same bottle increased by 44 %, or 98p, in 18 months.
WineGB now called on the government to spend a “small part” of the wine league on the transplantation of the local market.
The organization submitted its proposal to review comprehensive spending, which will be used to put future budgets for government departments. The counseling was closed on Sunday, February 9.
The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in Europe that meets the duty of the shutdown on the production of local wine – with which Wing argues put wine producers in English and Wallisy “in a large competitive position.”
“We understand that the times are difficult, and the budgets are narrow. Our industry has already been asked to tighten its belt due to multiple tax increases, with the effect of double duty. No other local wine product faces such a government burden while managing Such a variety of economic opposite winds.
Winegb claims that investing in the local wine industry will somewhat move towards “Reibalanc (ing) the great impact of increasing the wine duty on the sector by ensuring that the money goes to support the growth of industry.”
“When there is this interest in our wine, the government should help us benefit from it,” Pits said, warning that the government should refrain from being “wise and running.”
She said: “We are the fastest growing agricultural sector in the United Kingdom and we provide multiple levels of skilled and semi -skilled rural functions through the establishment of a sustainable local product. We call on the government not to estimate our current and future economic contribution.”
The policies announced in the autumn budget – including increasing fees, high national insurance contributions and changes in the minimum wage and inheritance tax – have negatively affected the local wine industry in the United Kingdom. Therefore, WineGB calls on the government to alleviate these additional costs by devoting more money and support to the sector.
Winegb asks the government:
Identify the sectors of agriculture, agricultural food and drinks-especially chrome cultivation-as major growth sectors and include them in growth strategies and economic plans. Winegb is concerned that it does not appear in the government's industrial strategy and the consequences it enjoys when allocating resources. Allocating financing and joint support to enhance investment, research, innovation, infrastructure development, education and export expansion. This includes the implementation and making of the 1.5 million pounds of future wine makers announced by the previous government at the WingB Industry Conference. Implementing policies that increase market access, reduce organizational burdens, help expand, and promote sustainable practices. This puts the value on British products.
Providing support for international expansion. This includes a category international campaign to take advantage of the demand for GB wine.
