“We have a plan and we know what must be done” WFA responds to tax review

The Winemakers’ Federation of Australia (WFA) has welcomed the federal review announced into the nation’s tax system. Paul Evans, WFA chief executive, said the review would be an opportunity to highlight the role Australian wine plays in supporting tens of thousands of regional jobs.
“Industry profitability, structure, production risks and the economic footprint of Australian wine compared to spirits and beer are very different and clearly justify why wine warrants a different tax rate,” Evans said.
