# Czech Republic: Alcohol consumption tax to increase

The Czech Republic’s Senate has reportedly approved a set of tax changes to increase government revenue by approximately 150 billion koruna (US$6.5 billion). The tax package will reportedly increase the Czech Republic’s alcohol consumption tax by 10% during the first year and an additional 5% during the following year. The legislation reportedly will also move draft beer to a higher value added tax rate category of 21%, but the package reportedly does not include still wine.
