Thank you, you have guessed the tax on each drink. Click Next if you wish to support jobs and tourism in Ireland.

Guess what percentage of your drink goes to the government in tax?

Correct!

Wrong!

You are right
Actually % of your drink goes on tax

Excise: %, VAT: %

The drinks and hospitality industry is an essential part of the Irish economy. Drinks and hospitality businesses employ 7.6% of all Irish workers in 175,000 jobs. Let your local representative know how important the industry is by supporting a reduction in excise tax.

For example, Ireland’s excise tax on a pint of beer is currently 1,000% higher than in Germany despite the fact that consumption levels in Ireland and Germany are nearly identical, according to WHO figures.

If you think the tax on this industry needs to be reduced, let your local representative know by signing this petition.
