The Beehive sipping 40% tax out of a pint of beer
Your pint is 40% tax wtf?

The Beehive takes 40% of your pint

By the time excise tax and GST are added, roughly 40% of the price of a pint can end up with the Government.

That means Kiwi punters are paying more for a quiet beer, while pubs and breweries are already dealing with higher costs of their own.

The tax keeps climbing automatically. We reckon it's time to give the next round a bit of breathing room.

Cut the beer tax and give Kiwi pints a fair go.
