Accra Brewery Limited is considering shutting down its operations over the implementation of the revised Excise Bill, Joy Business has gathered. The revised legislation seeks to impose an excise duty of between 7% and 15% on beer produced by local manufacturers, including Accra Brewery. Joy Business’ engagements with industry players have also confirmed concerns over the potential impact of the revised excise duty on local beverage manufacturers. The industry is therefore concerned about the potential impact of the new excise duty on jobs and the wider beverage manufacturing sector. Joy Business could not independently establish whether the concerns raised by the brewery industry have been formally presented to the Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson.
