It would be helpful if another Australian excise rate could be added to Breww, That being, Tariff 2.

Ginger beer brewed in Australia is not classed as a beer but can be pushed through either under the wine equalization tax or Tariff 2 as a spirit. Would it be possible to add Tariff 2 to the excise duty report please?

Kind regards

Andrew

If you have an existing Drink type set to “Self-managed duty” that you would like migrated to one of the new Australian duty subtypes, please raise a ticket to let us know, and we can sort that for you!
