The previous “Australian beer” duty option has been expanded and renamed to “Australian alcohol”, with a new duty sub-type setting on each drink type. This allows Breww to automatically determine the correct tariff for your excise duty report based on whether the drink is a beer, spirit, brandy, or “other beverage”.

Existing Australian **beer** drink types have been moved over automatically. If you have a drink type that could be classified under one of the new categories and is currently set up to use the “Self-managed duty” option, just get in touch, and our support team can help move it over.
