Australian Beer Excise Duty

Breww can quickly and accurately calculate beer excise duty for Australian breweries. To run your report for a given month, simply click the Excise duty tab on the left-hand menu and enter the date range you'd like to report on.

Breww will then generate your excise duty totals, showing you the LALs and excise amount owed per tariff. You'll also see a high-level breakdown showing the total quantity and volume of each beer, container type and ABV combination that became both payable and reclaimable during the period.

To view the breakdown in more detail, click the View entries button to the right of each breakdown row. Here, you can see all the entries that made up the totals seen in that row, ensuring your excise reporting is fully and easily auditable.

Breww will determine that beer has become payable when it is either dispatched as part of a delivery that is not for export or it is moved to a Non-bonded location.

If beer is returned from a delivery, it will remain Duty-paid and so will not be added to your excise duty report next time it is dispatched. If duty-paid beer is then marked as lost or spoiled, Breww will add it to the Reclaimable totals section of your excise duty report and remove the volume from the totals to pay.

When determining the tariff of a product, Breww looks at ABV, the individual container's capacity, and whether the container type is "designed to connect to a pressurised gas delivery system or pump delivery system".

Yes! Breww will always have the latest rates built-in, so there is no need to enter your excise duty rates into Breww manually.
