As part of the UK’s departure from the EU, the government announced a number of changes to the movement of excise goods (including alcohol) to and from Northern Ireland, which took effect at 11pm on 31st December 2020. More information about post-transition changes is available on gov.uk and from HMRC. There have been no further changes to alcohol duties since 1 January 2021 that exclude Northern Ireland or do not fully apply in Northern Ireland.
