英国一家酿酒厂在啤酒税涨价后面临财政紧张, A UK brewery faces financial strain after beer duty hikes, now costing £1,500–£2,000 monthly, threatening its survival.

据议员奥利·格洛弗介绍，英国工党政府最新预算提高了啤酒税，将月缴费提高至1500至2000英镑，牛津郡一家小型酿酒厂正面临财务压力。 A small Oxfordshire brewery is facing financial strain after the UK Labour government’s latest budget raised beer duty, increasing monthly payments to £1,500–£2,000, according to MP Olly Glover. 酿酒厂的老板说,如果没有他的第二份工作,负担将威胁到可持续性。 The brewery’s owner says the burden threatens sustainability without his second job. 责任现在占Firkin成本的30-40%, 限制了在不失去竞争力的情况下提高价格的能力。 Duty now makes up 30%–40% of a firkin’s cost, limiting the ability to raise prices without losing competitiveness. 酒厂批评政府与大酒厂比较无关, 而格洛弗则呼吁政策变化, 包括即将出台的立法来解决逾期付款问题. The brewery criticized government comparisons to large brewers like Budweiser as irrelevant, while Glover called for policy changes, including upcoming legislation to tackle late payments.
