 |
|
The duty rise announced in the 2012 budget (effective from Monday 26 March) increases the duty on a 70cl bottle from £7.15 to £7.50. With VAT (20%) charged on that extra duty, the total tax uplift on each bottle is 42 pence. The current average price of a 70cl bottle of a standard Blended Scotch Whisky in the UK is £11.88.
The duty escalator means alcohol duty is increased by 2% above Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation every year up to and including 2015.
