Steps
Review Breww's Alcohol Duty & Excise Tax documentation section (breww.com/docs/alcohol-duty) for how the module maps to current UK Alcohol Duty rules.
Ensure production batches, ABV, and packaged volumes are recorded accurately in Breww, since duty calculations depend on this underlying production data.
Use Breww's duty reporting to generate the return figures needed for your HMRC submission rather than calculating manually from spreadsheets.
Cross-check Breww's calculated duty against HMRC's current Alcohol Duty rates and Small Producer Relief thresholds before filing, since rate bands and relief eligibility change and must be verified independently.
File the actual return with HMRC through the required channel — Breww's role is to help calculate and organize the figures, not to submit the return on the brewer's behalf.
Known gotchas
This is a UK HMRC excise obligation (Alcohol Duty), not a US TTB filing — do not conflate the two regulatory regimes when advising a brewery on compliance.
Duty rates, Small Producer Relief bands, and reporting rules have changed multiple times since the August 2023 UK Alcohol Duty reform — always verify current rates directly with HMRC/gov.uk rather than relying on cached figures.
