Riverland: More wine tax chatter

Riverland: Recent media coverage has helped to establish this particular tax issue as a serious concern for our regional economy and community, not merely wine grape growers and winemakers. National newspapers are keeping the issue alive with various editorial and opinion articles. Up until now the term volumetric tax has been used. In recent days this has been replaced by the term ‘flat tax’ rated at $2.20 per litre or approximately $1.65 per bottle.
