Is there a stamp duty for alcohol in the UK?

This is the UK Alcohol Duty Stamp, which served as a visual confirmation that excise duty had been paid on the product and that it was intended for the UK market. We want to inform you that the UK Alcohol Duty Stamp Scheme is being abolished by HM Revenue Customs (HMRC) as of May 1, 2025.
