Canadian distillers and brewers have claimed that between 50% and 80% of the price of alcoholic drinks are government taxes. These claims were made in campaigns to decrease alcohol taxation.
We investigated these claims using publicly available Statistics Canada data and provincial-level product sales data and breakdowns of the prices of typical alcohol beverages in major market sectors.
In all cases, the rate of total sales tax and excise taxation are mostly between 20% and 30% of final retail prices, well below the industry claims.
加拿大的酿酒商和啤酒商声称，酒精饮料价格的 50%至 80%是政府税收。这些说法是在降低酒精税收的运动中提出的。
我们使用公开的加拿大统计局数据以及省级产品销售数据和主要市场部门的典型酒精饮料价格细目来调查这些说法。
在所有情况下，总销售税和消费税税率大多在最终零售价格的 20%至 30%之间，远低于该行业的说法。
