HC Deb 25 July 1983 vol 46 cc308-9W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what revenue was raised during the past 12 months for which figures are available from taxes on home-produced wine; and if he has any plans to review the level of tax imposed.

Mr. Hayhoe

The provisional figures for receipts from excise duties in the financial year 1982–83 are £191,000 for United Kingdom produced wine of fresh grapes and £53 million for United Kingdom produced made-wine. It is estimated that the receipts from VAT on these products were about £20 million. Rates of excise duties will be reviewed before the Budget.
