英国首相可能会将酒精税提高4.5%, 引发行业对收入损失和价格上涨的警告。 UK chancellor may raise alcohol duty by 4.5%, sparking industry warnings over revenue loss and price hikes.

英国总理雷切尔·里夫斯(Rachel Reeves)在秋季预算之前可能会将酒精税提高4.5 % , 可能会增加消费者价格, 70升的杜松子酒瓶涨了47p, 威士忌涨了50p。 Ahead of the UK’s autumn budget, Chancellor Rachel Reeves may raise alcohol duty by up to 4.5%, potentially increasing prices for consumers, with a 70cl bottle of gin rising by 47p and whisky by 50p. 提议增加的数额是在此前的涨幅之后提出的,原因是人们担心酒精税会助长通货膨胀——在2025年8月的每100英镑涨价中,就计为3英镑。 The proposed increase follows previous hikes and comes amid concerns that alcohol taxes contribute to inflation—accounting for £3 of every £100 in price rises through August 2025. 行业团体警告称，每增加1%的关税都会使政府借款成本增加9000万英镑，并可能减少收入，举例说明9月份烈酒税收入下降了17%。 Industry groups warn that each 1% duty rise raises government borrowing costs by £90 million and could reduce revenue, citing a 17% drop in spirits duty receipts in September. 随着3.8%的通货膨胀率和经济增长停滞,该部门敦促冻结,以支持企业、稳定价格和保护公共财政。 With inflation at 3.8% and economic growth stagnant, the sector urges a freeze to support businesses, stabilize prices, and protect public finances.
