Mark Backs Campaign for Vineyard Tax Relief

Mark Pritchard Wine Tax Relief Campaign

Mark had given his support to a new campaign to give tax relief to small vineyards in Shropshire and across the UK.

The Conservative Party's support for microbreweries means there is a growing variety of British beers in pubs and bars, but Mark believes that the Government should give a boost to small vineyards to create the conditions that they need to grow.

Mark has added his name to a letter to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Rishi Sunak MP, calling for tax on small vineyards to be frozen or - ideally - lowered in the next Budget.
