Details

HMRC commissioned an independent research company (Databuild) to undertake qualitative research with small cidermakers.

The report presents findings from 40 qualitative interviews conducted between January and February 2016 with micro-SME producers and National Association of Cider Maker’s affiliated regional bodies.

The research aimed to provide insights to:

  • support decisions relating to the small cidermakers duty exemption
  • understand the existing production in the small cider market
  • understand the adaptability of companies to changing market conditions

The views in this report are the authors’ own and do not necessarily reflect those of HMRC.
