The Excise Duty Estimator assists in estimating excise duty, alcohol levy and the GST applicable to the alcohol levy for most alcoholic products classified in Part A of the Excise and Excise-equivalent Duties Table (EEDT).

The Estimator provides information related to the type of alcohol selected from the drop-down list below. The Estimator cannot be used to determine which category alcoholic products fall within for the purpose of duty classification.

The information provided by the Estimator is an estimate, not a precise calculation of duty owing.

Not all excisable products are included in the calculator (e.g., Cider). If your product is not showing as an option, refer to the EEDT for full details of all excisable alcoholic goods.
