TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Rumours are out there that "Rachel from Accounts" will put 20p extra duty on beer in her next budget. I hope it isn't true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyH Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 With the 20p, AND this nonsense law about conversations….. I should think Pubs will be closed within the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN749 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I expect it will be at least 20p more,about 5%. With all the business having to pay an extra £2,600 a year( 10%+) for every full time worker,and about 13% for part timers it’s got to affect prices of everything,I have heard brewers are making some beers weaker to reduce costs. The government will probably try to deny and hide the inflation figures coming after April but we will see the proof in what we buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 (edited) Hello, If that is the case a lot more Pubs in the UK will cease trading, I had a thought 🤔 maybe it is another way with Labour wanting to build more Homes and not much land available how many of us have seen our local Pub turned in to Flats and Houses built on the the land ?? This also applies to our farming families and forth coming Inheritance tax, Many have said they will have to sell land to pay for this and Labour know there is a shortage of building land 🤔!!!!!!!!

Stephen-H Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Already too expensive in most pubs now average price for a pint of guinness is around £6-6.50 Ale £5-6 per pint Only chains like wetherspoons will be able to survive the small pub on the corner will be struggling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOPGUN749 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Recently visited York and saw a pint of Guinness was £6.50 in a pub there! The big rise in national insurance will obviously cause prices of everything to rise,many in pubs are part time and the employer will have to find 13% more including the minimum wage increase of 77p an hour,even more for under 21 ‘s. Yes there could still be a beer tax rise too in next budget. £7 Guinness not far away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it isn't true. If that is a true fact then that would mean I have got to find another 20 p when I have my yearly pint of Shandy at the shoots dinner , if I can't afford it then I will have to cut down to a half instead of a pint , although come to think of it , they do give me a tenner tax free at Christmas so ignore the half pint as I will certainly now have a full pint and should nearly have enough left over for another half and a small packet of crisps , mind you if the beer keep going up and up then a tenner might not be enough for a pint so it's time our golden handshake start moving in a upward direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
