Wine duty rates explained
HMRC’s new alcohol duty reforms came into full effect February 1st 2025, with UK wine businesses under increased pressure to manage more complex and dynamic compliance requirements. These changes introduced a new structure based on alcohol strength, requiring greater granularity in tracking and reporting. For many, this has transformed duty management from a back-office task into a core operational challenge.
