HMRC has also published a report on research commissioned during autumn 2016 among small producers and importers of soft drinks, mainly to inform the criteria for exemptions from the levy. The research involved 50 interviews (36 with producers and 14 with importers).
Soft drink production amongst the businesses interviewed varied markedly, ranging from 100 litres annually to the largest producing tens of millions of litres. Importers estimated import volumes ranging from 50,000 litres through to 1.5m litres annually. See http://bit.ly/2n7nll0.
