Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will extend the period in which brewers are able to pay beer duty as a result of the reduction in beer production levels during the covid-19 outbreak.
Brewers are currently required to pay their monthly beer duty bills by the twenty-fifth day of the following month.
However, if they require more flexibility regarding paying their beer duty bills, they can access HMRC’s Time To Pay service. This allows brewers to defer their beer duty bills or pay over a longer period of time, if they need it.
