By Andrew Spence<\/p>\n

South Australia\u2019s growing ranks of craft brewers and distillers say that a dramatic increase in excise rebates that will put an extra $250,000 a year in their pockets is a \u201cgame-changer\u201d that will boost jobs, production and focus on exports.<\/p>\n

From July 1, Australian brewers and distillers will receive full excise refunds to a maximum of $350,000 a year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

The excise rebate cap was initially lifted from $30,000 to $100,000 for beer and spirits producers in July 2018 but the latest cap increase to $350,000 brings it into line with the rebate cap for wineries under the Australain federal government\u2019s wine equalisation tax (WET) scheme.<\/p>\n

Beer excise varies depending on the strength of the beer and the size of the vessel it is packaged in. It accounts for about $18 per carton of 24 cans (375ml) of 5 per cent ABV beer.<\/p>\n

Excise on beer in kegs is about 30 per cent lower than packaged product, providing an advantage for producers who can secure taps in pubs or sell their beer as part of their own front-of-house operations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

In a state most known for its high-quality wine, craft brewing and distilling have been growing quickly in the past five years.<\/p>\n

There are more than 60 independent beer brands in South Australia and more than 20 production breweries as well as dozens of craft spirits producers.<\/p>\n

Prancing Pony Brewery co-founder and CEO Corinna Steeb is the South Australian representative on the board of the Independent Brewers Association.<\/p>\n

She said the extra $250,000 in tax relief was \u201ca game-changer\u201d and something that the IBA had fought for over seven years.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us it will allow us to reinvest the money production efficiencies, product innovation and employment because even though independent breweries represent just 8 per cent of Australia\u2019s total beer production, we still employ more than 50 per cent of the people in the industry, so employment costs are probably the second-highest cost for a brewery after excise,\u201d Steeb said of the benefit to her Adelaide Hills brewery.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrancing Pony employs 28 people across the brewery and front of house operations and we\u2019re looking for two people as we speak so this helps me go out with a bit more confidence when we\u2019re going out actually recruiting those people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Little Bang co-founder Ryan Davidson started the Stepney brewery with Filip Kemp in 2013 said the WET scheme had transformed the wine industry since its introduction in the 1990s and the latest excise concessions had the potential to do the same for craft beer.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing tax policy alone they have managed to propel the Australian wine industry from an obscure backwater to one of the finest in the world and finally we\u2019re now much more in line with that wine industry policy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will take the strain off of small producers that don\u2019t have the economies of scale that the larger businesses have and it puts them on a level playing field.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nice thing about this is you know that small businesses are going to take every single dollar of this tax saving and stick straight back into the economy by purchasing gear, buying services they couldn\u2019t afford before and it\u2019s just going to drive businesses harder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Big Shed Brewing Concern opened its new Royal Park brewery in December 2019 and has reached about half of its 1.2 million litre a year capacity.<\/p>\n

Co-founder Craig Basford said the $250,000 boost would help pay off the new brewery and also be invested in processes to allow it to expand exports.<\/p>\n

Exported beer does not attract excise tax but investing in equipment to create shelf-stable beer that could be shipped without refrigeration would reduce freight costs.<\/p>\n

Big Shed recently sent its first full shipping container of about 600 cases of its beer to the Netherlands where it will be distributed across Europe.<\/p>\n

Basford said using the rebate to invest in pasteurisation equipment would help it increase exports.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will allow us to get product from South Australia out to the rest of the world because at the moment to do it to the quality standard that we want, it needs to keep refrigerated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously refrigerating product from here to Europe is not only expensive but has a big carbon cost as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe European market came to us and that\u2019s why we\u2019re going there first \u2013 Asia is probably our next shoreline to conquer.\u201d<\/p>\n

For distillers, the excise tax component of a 700ml bottle of 40 per cent ABV spirits is almost $25.<\/p>\n

Adelaide Hills Distillery founder Sacha La Forgia said his operation at Lot 100 near Nairne was nearing capacity and the additional rebate would allow greater investment in people.<\/p>\n

The distillery already exports gin and whisky to eight countries in Europe, Asia and North America and will now invest further in those markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the people we get will be export-focused for sure,\u201d La Forgia said.<\/p>\n

\u201cExport is a funny one, you don\u2019t just send it to the port and forget about it, you need to activate the market in the same way that you do here, so if you\u2019ve got sales people here then you need them in the export market as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if that\u2019s part of your strategy then you can put that $350k straight into activating export markets and drive sales instead of just sending it off and hoping for the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

McLaren Vale-based Never Never Distilling is looking to use the additional cash to expand production and employ more staff.<\/p>\n

Co-founder Sean Baxter said the craft spirits market was very challenging to crack into and the access to the additional rebate would be vital for many small producers.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything from the labels to the corks to the liquid to the tax you have to pay on it costs so much to create and there is tonnes of competition with huge importers that are bringing in spirits that are incredibly low-priced,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is so much room for growth and the government sees the potential in investing in these small, craft distilleries across Australia and it\u2019s such an amazing initiative to see.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly excited because it will allow us to expand our productions, it is going to allow us to employ more staff and effectively it is going to allow us to be a better business.\u201d<\/p>\n
