Indicate when full-duty paid kegs and casks are required on an order
The new duty changes going live on 1st August 2023 are likely to be top of mind for many of you at the moment.
We're supporting you and your customers with a small but important update. At the time of writing, the legislation will introduce a new Draught Relief which will provide a reduced rate of duty for qualifying draught products. Please see gov.uk for further details on qualifying products.
Some businesses, however, are required to purchase draught products where full duty has been paid. Specifically, businesses that decant from these containers and sell for off-premises consumption. Again, please see gov.uk for the complete definition.
Upon placing an order, your customers will see an option to indicate if they require full duty paid on the kegs or casks in their order. You will also have the ability to set this option at the point of order confirmation; or when editing the order details before confirming the order.
This value will then be used when generating the invoice PDF we make available to your customers on Sellar. If 'full duty paid' has been requested and indicated on the order, the relevant invoice line items will display a caption of "Draught duty relief has not been applied".
