We don’t suppose that anyone feels
“welcome” at the thought of entering the 52%
tax bracket. But the truth is, every time you
open a beer, that’s how much of it is going to
Federal and Provincial taxes.

In fact, 52% is the national average. Since
the recent provincial tax hike here in British
Columbia, we're actually paying more than 56%,
which is one of the highest rates anywhere in
the free world.

To get specific, of the $10.80* Canadians
pay for 12 bottles of domestic beer, $5.62 goes to
Federal and Provincial taxes, $2.31 is spent
on production, $1.08 on labour, 86¢ on sales and
distribution and 76¢ goes to packaging and
recycling. The brewer makes 17¢ profit on the
case, or 1.4¢ per bottle

We think beer taxes are already too high
and should be kept from climbing higher. And we
wanted you to know the facts, so that next time
anyone suggests raising taxes on beer, you can ask
yourself what's fair.

Prices may vary by brand and region.

IF YOU THINK THE TAX ON BEER IS UNFAIR,
LET US KNOW.

We'd like to hear your opinion, [f you believe 52% tax on heer 1s
already too high, and you'd like to see semething done about keep:
ing it from climbing higher please fill ie this form and send it to us,
