Taylors joins wine tax debate

Mitchell Taylor, the managing director and winemaker at Taylors Wines has said that a move to volumetric tax “would be a disaster for the industry”. Following Neil McGuigan’s letter to the Australian Financial Review last week, Taylor has written to the same newspaper calling for a quick decision by the federal government regarding wine taxation. Taylor wrote: “The wine industry is united in its approach to freeze the amount of tax we pay as we are currently the highest-taxed wine-producing country in the World.”
