Briefings

The Brazilian Association of Spirits Companies (ANEBE) requested the government to maintain the current 1.602.51 euros per hectoliter tax rate on spirits for the 2027 state budget. This decision aims to increase revenue while avoiding additional burdens on companies, as the tax base has shrunk by 8.95% in 2024. The ANEBE cites a shadow forecast by EY, which projects total revenue to reach 160.79 million euros in 2027 and approach 180 million by 2035. The association highlights that spirits account for 46% of the Alcohol Tax Base, and notes a lower tax rate in Spain to discourage cross-border consumption.

Key points

• The ANEBE requested the government to maintain the current 1.602.51 euros per hectoliter tax rate on spirits for the 2027 state budget.
• The ANEBE cites a shadow forecast by EY, which projects total revenue to reach 160.79 million euros in 2027 and approach 180 million by 2035.

Context

The Brazilian Association of Spirits Companies (ANEBE) is lobbying for the government to keep the current tax rate on spirits. This request comes after the tax base for spirits dropped 8.95% in 2024, prompting the association to argue that stability allows revenue growth without increasing company burdens. The ANEBE also highlights that spirits represent 46% of the Alcohol Tax Base and compares the Portuguese rate to Spain's lower rate.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to the ANEBE's request and a shadow forecast by EY. The forecast projections are estimates, not confirmed outcomes. The source does not provide data on other countries' spirits tax rates beyond Spain, nor does it include information on the impact of the tax on specific industries or consumer behavior.
