Who sets employment taxes?
The UK government sets employment taxes, such as National Insurance contributions, which directly affect the cost of hiring staff for breweries. These taxes contribute to the overall financial pressure on businesses, alongside other factors like energy prices. Government policy decisions therefore play a significant role in the industry's struggles.
