Written Question
Whisky: Excise Duties
Monday 6th November 2017

Asked by: Douglas Chapman (Scottish National Party - Dunfermline and West Fife)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much excise duty was collected on Scotch whisky in the past five financial years.

Answered by Andrew Jones

This information is not available as the government does not break down the amount of duty collected from spirits by Scotch Whisky.

Information on the amount of duty collected through alcohol taxation is routinely published online by HM Revenue & Customs in the ‘Tax & Duty Bulletins’ section of the UK Trade Info website. This can be found at:
