Oracle of DelphiAlcopops Dispute Fizzes Out In Federal Court
April 22nd 2009 06:17
The Federal Government has been taking a variety of measures intended to reduce "binge drinking". One of those measures has been to increase rates of duty and excise on "ready to drink" mixed drinks known as Alcopops. Many of you have been following the fate of measures intended to raise customs duty on imported products and to raise excise duty on such products distilled here.
The Federal Government raised the rate of duty and excise by "Tariff Proposal" last year without legislation, allegedly as a measure to stop binge drinking by young people using the products. This was effected by the use of "Tariff Proposals" which were introduced into Federal Parliament prescribing increased rates of customs duty (by Customs) and excise duty (by the ATO). These measures are used to quickly introduce the new measures while awaiting the passage of legislation to formally implement the increased tariffs.
