爱尔兰Vitners联合会(VFI)正在寻求对在酒吧销售的水啤酒的消费税给予40%的折扣,以帮助农村企业生存。 The Vintners Federation of Ireland (VFI) is seeking a 40% rebate on excise duties for draught beer sold in pubs to help rural establishments survive. 爱尔兰的酒精消费率在欧盟中位居第二, 税收占一品脱价格的近30%, 对公众, 特别是在农村地区, 造成巨大压力。 With Ireland having the second-highest alcohol excise rate in the EU, taxes account for nearly 30% of a pint's price, putting significant pressure on publicans, especially in rural areas. 方济会国际认为,这种支持对于保持爱尔兰的酒吧文化和维持当地社区至关重要。 The VFI argues this support is critical to maintaining Ireland's pub culture and sustaining local communities.
