§ Mr. John TownendTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the average excise and VAT saving for an individual who buys in France his or her full indicative level of the following: 10 litres of mid-priced spirits, 20 litres of mid-priced fortified wine, 30 litres of mid-priced table wine and 60 litres of mid-priced sparkling wine.
§ Sir John CopeBased on current exchange rates, an individual could save around £200 on excise duty. A further £34 would be saved from the consequential VAT applied to the excise duty. These figures are independent of the price of the goods.
