EU seeks comments on alcohol excise tax rates

EU seeks comments on alcohol excise tax rates

About this initiative

Summary

EU rules govern the taxation of alcohol and alcoholic beverages. Tax structure rules have recently been amended, but excise duty rates have not been amended since 1992.

The evaluation will examine if excise duty rates on alcohol and alcoholic beverages have contributed to the proper functioning of the EU single market. The evaluation will inform the planned initiative. A public consultation is planned for the first half of 2022.
