Wine Equalisation Tax (WET), excise and customs duty are highly specialised areas – and ones where precision, experience and strategic judgment matter.
At Pengelly & Co Legal, we bring a depth of experience in those areas that is difficult to match.
Our practitioners are recognised for their expertise in WET, excise and customs duty, with Jessica having more than 15 years’ experience in indirect taxes, and specialisation in food and alcohol taxation.
Over the years, Jessica has worked on complex WET, excise and customs duty matters with a broad range of participants across the alcohol industry, including winemakers, distillers, brewers, importers, distributors and major retailers. Jessica has also been a speaker at numerous industry and tax conferences on topical food and alcohol taxation issues.
Jessica’s experience – and our capabilities – spans the entire supply chain, from licensing and establishment, importation and manufacture, through to distribution, retail and export related tax issues. This end to end perspective enables Pengelly Co Legal to deliver practical, commercially-focused advice that reflects both regulatory requirements and operational realities.
