Scotland’s leading business and sector organisations have called on Chancellor Rachel Reeves to reduce the tax burden on Scotland’s national drink in her first Budget on 30 October. The letter, which has been sent HM Treasury just over two weeks before the Budget measures are announced, states that a “reduction in the tax burden for Scotch Whisky will signal that Scotland is competitive place to invest, would recognise the benefits of the sustainable employment for which the Scotch Whisky industry is renowned, and would boost a central part of Labour’s ‘Brand Scotland’ vision.” The Scotch Whisky Association has called for the Chancellor to cut duty on Scotch Whisky. Spirits duty was increased by 10.1% in August 2023 and in the subsequent 12 months spirits revenue reduced by £300m.
