$60.00 for 1 litre 100% alcohol means? 1.75 pints to a litre so (divide $60.00 by 7)x4 = $34.00 rounded. About 5% alcohol in your average beer. So, divide $34 by 20 = $1.70 tax minus what the previous tax was. Doesn’t seem to justify prices of $15.00. But unfortunately, or fortunately I can remember buying a Schooner of Beer for 2 shillings. As the son of an Alcoholic father, I appreciate what the Government is doing so I cannot agree with ndhallam39 regarding GST.
