We strongly support the continuation of reduced excise duty for small producers and note the highly positive effect this has had for consumers since it was introduced in Ireland in 2005. We believe there is scope for making duty rates fairer between different kinds of drinks, noting that wine can be zero-rated but beer cannot. There is no rational reason for such a distinction.
