Going Pro opportunity
Hi there
Its a while since I posted but I have an opportunity to rent a 4BBBL Brewery and one of the things that is on my mind is what I need to pay HMRC out of everything I sell.
Is there a ready reckoner/calculator out there online somewhere (I've looked but not come across any)?
All help gratefully received
Thanks
Laith

Re: Going Pro opportunity
It differs depending on strength of beers and volumes produced I believe. Don't think there's s standard figure.
Should all be available on hmrc website I would think

There is a calculator here - https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _20152.xls
It ends with '20152' so may well be out of date, though. I would have a read through the HMRC website, as Secla said, and read up on the subject, check your figures, double-check your figures, then check them again (you cannot be too careful as far as duty is concerned)

Beer duty is £19.08 per 1% ABV per 100L -50% if you produce under 500,000L a year

Re: Going Pro opportunity
So it should. If you don't have your own outlet, or one as part of your plans, don't do it. It really is that simple.laithclark wrote: ↑Tue Apr 10, 2018 10:02 pmVery interesting and very much on my mind about taking the plunge!Mashman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 10:48 pmThis might be worth a read..

It’s attached to a pub and in a chain of five others so there’s good opportunity but as ever no guarantees!

Have a read of this. It has a Welsh slant on it but is applicable to small brewers in England as well https://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/ ... l-14510008

As I've often said to friends who reckon I should give up the day job and sell my beer - making good beer isn't difficult. What is difficult is getting people to part with the right amount of their hard earned cash for YOUR beer above others, i.e. it is marketing, plus - as Orlando says - a route to market which doesn't involve you giving away all the margin to a middle man.
Brewdog seem to be doing it right in that regard, but their profit margins are still pretty slim, even when using crowd funding for a big portion of their capital.
