Tax Pass-through in the European Beer Market

| Sumari: | We study the pass-through of indirect taxes on beer prices in the European
Union (EU). Exploiting the variation of value added tax rates, beer
excise tax rates, and beer prices in a panel of monthly data from 1996 to
2016 of all current 28 EU member states, we estimate the tax pass-through
of specific beer excise taxes and ad valorem value added taxes, respectively.
Ad valorem taxes are under-shifted at a rate of approximately 70%. Specific
excise taxes are almost fully shifted to prices in the EU, but, in contrast to
the empirical findings for the US, there is no evidence of over-shifting. Nevertheless, the difference between ad valorem and specific tax pass-through rates indicates that imperfect competition plays an important role in the European beer market. |
