The Lucknow Sentinel, 2016-04-27, Page 3MP Lobb's Bill C-232 up for debase
On April 22 in the House
of Commons, Ben Lobb,
Member of Parliament for
Huron -Bruce, will debate
Bill C- 232, An Act to Amend
the Excise Act, 2001 (Spirits)
during its second reading.
Lobb's private member' s bill
aims to reduce excise tax rates
for spirit distillers in Canada.
The proposed legislation
would set the excise tax rate
to $6.00 per litre of absolute
ethyl alcohol for the first
100,000 litres of production
and $11.00 for all production
past 100,000 litres.
"Lowering the tax rate for
distilleries will increase pro-
duction and revenue, jobs
will be created and more
Canadians will be
employed," said MP Lobb.
"The benefits of lower tax
rates are not limited to dis-
tillery industry, Canadian
farmers will benefit from
increased sales of alcohol's
main components, corn,
wheat, barley and rye. The
Conservative Party contin-
ues to work hard to reduce
taxes for Canadians and
help foster development in
various sectors of our
economy."
Currently all distilleries,
regardless of size or produc-
tion output are taxed at the
same rate of $11.696 per litre
of absolute ethyl alcohol.
Lowering the excise tax
rate will allow for the Cana-
dian Spirit Industry to
become more competitive
on an international scale
and allow for investment
into new technologies.
