Beer Duty Increase
George Osborne has spoken and he's still taking a third of your pint......Now it is time to have your say.
Say no to the beer tax escalator to make beer more affordable and support the Great British pub.
To save your pint the e-petition needs 100,000 signitures, will yours be one of them?
In today's Budget speech George Osborne announced the Government's intention to continue its damaging approach to Britain's beloved pubs as a further inflation plus 2% increase on beer will bring about yet more price rises at the bar, and further job losses in the sector.
Around £1 on every pint goes to the tax man in beer duty and VAT - we urge you and your beer drinking friends to fight back and sign the e-petition.
The beer and pub industry supports almost 1 million jobs and contributes £21 billion to UK GDP. It's time to speak out against the Government to stop damaging pubs, real ale, and your pocket.
