Sometimes your beer duty return will contain items that you may not have thought it should, or will not contain items that you expect it to.

The point in time that's applicable to triggering a beer duty liability is when the beer leaves the brewery. This stage is part of the delivery process in Breww. Technically, the invoice date and payment dates are irrelevant to duty calculations (although these will in practise often be the same date as the "duty point" date). This is in line with the requirements of HMRC.

We understand that this can sometimes cause confusion, so we've added a report to show you orders that might cause confusion and why they are/are not on the return that you'd expect. Find this by going to the return in question, then using the Beer duty breakdown button in the top-right, followed by the What's not on my return and why? button.
