Rishi Sunak must “stand firm” against calls from Scotland’s First Minister to scrap the increased tax hike on whisky.
A blanket freeze on alcohol duty comes to an end in August, increasing by 10.1%. All alcoholic drinks will fall under this method; except for beer.
The increase will be based on how much alcohol by volume (ABV) a drink has, with alcohol with a higher percentage - like whisky - increasing more.
