Wine equalization tax and 16 beer tax rates in Australia
If you want a drink in Australia but are watching your wallet, be careful about the drink you choose. That’s because taxes vary depending on the type of alcohol you buy. There’s a wine equalization tax of 29 percent of the wholesale value of wine. Other products are taxed based on alcohol content — so the stiffer the drink, the higher the tax rate. For beer alone, there are 16 different tax rates in this tax-unfriendly country.
