In den letzten zwei Jahren ist die Alkoholsteuer in UK<\/strong> durch den Schatzkanzler drei Mal angehoben worden \u2013 was entgegen den Erwartungen der Regierung die Einnahmen nicht erh\u00f6ht, sondern vermindert hat. Im Vergleich zu 2024\/2025 gingen sie um 7% zur\u00fcck<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

H\u00f6here Alkoholsteuern verteuern nat\u00fcrlich die Produkte, und die Konsumlaune sinkt weiter. Nun fordert die Scotch Whisky Association<\/a> (SWA)<\/strong>, die Interessensvertretung der schottischen Whiskyproduzenten, die Anhebung der Alkoholsteuern zumindest einzufrieren, um Wachstum und Arbeitspl\u00e4tze nicht weiter zu gef\u00e4hrden. Dazu hat man seitens der SWA <\/strong>folgendes Statement ver\u00f6ffentlicht<\/p>\n\nPresseartikel<\/td>\nF\u00fcr den Inhalt ist das Unternehmen verantwortlich<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced an RPI inflation increase to alcohol duty<\/p>\n

The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) has said the Chancellor\u2019s decision to further increase duty on Scotch Whisky will put \u201eadditional pressure on a sector suffering job losses, stalled investment and business closures.\u201c<\/p>\n

The SWA had called on the new Chancellor to freeze duty to support jobs, investment and growth. Revenue from spirits revenue has fallen since the previous 3.6% increase to spirits duty last year, reducing revenue by 7% compared to 2024\/25, or \u00a3150m.\u00a0
The OBR has confirmed that due to \u201eweak in-year data\u201c the forecast for alcohol revenue has been downgraded by an average of \u00a31.7bn each year \u2013 confirming that the high tax burden on Scotch Whisky is stifling economic growth and revenue generation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mark Kent, Chief Executive of the Scotch Whisky Association, said:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe Scotch Whisky industry is disappointed that the domestic tax burden has once again increased in the Autumn Budget, putting huge additional pressure on a sector suffering job losses, stalled investment and business closures.<\/p>\n

\u201cPut simply, the government cannot expect the Scotch Whisky sector to just keep delivering growth, both at home and on the world stage, if the conditions which support growth are not nurtured.<\/p>\n

\u201eThe previous 3.65% increase to spirits duty has reduced spirits revenue by 7% \u2013 a loss to the Treasury of\u00a0 \u00a3150m. Hiking duty today, for the third time in two years, not only limits our sector\u2019s ability to contribute to much needed economic growth and productivity, but will once again fail to deliver for the public purse and needlessly cost jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIncreasing global and domestic pressures led our industry to ask for duty in our home market to remain unchanged. Not a tax cut, not a handout, simply breathing room for a critical Scottish industry. Government has chosen to ignore those warnings, to the detriment of distillers, of bars and restaurants, our farmers and suppliers, and ultimately of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
