澳大利亚总理提议冻结两年的啤酒税, 以降低饮酒者和企业成本。 Australian PM proposes a two-year beer tax freeze to cut costs for drinkers and businesses.

澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴内斯(Anthony Albanese)提议,如果他的劳动党再次当选,从8月开始,将啤酒消费税冻结两年。 Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has proposed a two-year freeze on beer excise taxes, starting in August, if his Labor party is re-elected. 此举旨在降低啤酒饮者、酿酒者和招待部门的费用,可降低啤酒价格每品脱10美分。 This move, aimed at reducing costs for beer drinkers, brewers, and hospitality sectors, could lower beer prices by up to 10 cents per pint. 啤酒消费税目前从每公升10美元到43美元不等,并随着通货膨胀而每年增加两次,将暂停征收。 The excise tax on beer, which currently ranges from $10 to $43 per liter and increases twice a year with inflation, would be paused. 政府还将酒精生产商的可退还金额从350 000美元增加到400 000美元。 The government also increased the refundable amount for alcohol producers from $350,000 to $400,000.
