Unbearable Tax

DON'T GRIN AND BEAR A 63% TAX ON BUNDY

Arguably, the only thing more Australian than a fair go, is Bundaberg Rum.

So when 63% of the cost of your bottle of Bundy is tax, we reckon that's 100% un-Australian.

Australia's spirits tax is currently one of the highest in the world. We pay seven times in tax what drinkers in the US pay on their spirits and almost double what drinkers pay in NZ and the UK. It's a pain in the glass!

The spirits industry alone will pay $5 billion in excise this year in Australia, and this tax continues to grow twice a year, every year!

Don't grin and bear the tax on Bundy, help us get a fair go for Bundy lovers and put a stop to unnecessary price increases.

I’m writing to you to ask you to freeze the unbearable spirits tax, which is making a round at the pub on Friday nights unaffordable for many hardworking Australians.

This tax means that the price of a drink goes up twice a year, every year, without fail.

The spirits tax alone on a 1L bottle of Bundaberg Rum UP is $38.40 - that’s about 63% of the cost of a bottle and it doesn’t even include GST. What a pain in the glass!

We think it’s high time the government takes the small but significant step of pausing these tax increases that are pushing a Bundy and Cola or a drink at the local out of reach.

Please put this unbearable tax in the freezer where it belongs!
