The Treasury engages with a wide variety of organisations to understand industry developments, including the beer and pub industry and public health groups. This government is aware of concerns about Small Brewers Relief, it has invited views on how it can be reformed in a way that the whole sector could support. All taxes are kept under review at fiscal events, and we will consider these issues carefully as part of the Autumn Budget process.
