† The wine and bottle levies and the COS charges are calculated on a per litre basis.
‡ The environment fee applies to containers which cannot be returned for refilling by manufacturers.

Beer
*
Beer shipped in containers with a capacity of less than 18 litres is a flat 55.55 cents per litre.  Beer shipped in containers with a capacity equal to or greater than 18 litres is 40.55 cents per litre.

Microbreweries

On or after June 21, 2004, a microbrewery will be defined as a manufacturer of beer that produces, worldwide, less than 150,000 hectolitres of beer annually on average over the last five years.

 

The microbrewery reduction rates and thresholds are proposed to change according to the following schedule:

 

·         5.56 cents per litre for regular beer and 4.06 cents per litre for draught on the first 15,000 hectolitres of beer shipped in Ontario on or after June 21, 2004;

 

·         13.89 cents per litre for regular beer and 10.14 cents per litre for draught on the next 15,000 hectolitres of beer shipped in Ontario on or after June 21, 2004;

 

·         27.78 cents per litre for regular beer and 20.28 cents per litre for draught on the next 20,000 hectolitres of beer shipped in Ontario on or after June 21, 2004;

 

·         41.66 cents per litre for regular beer and 30.41 cents per litre for draught on the next 25,000 hectolitres of beer shipped in Ontario on or after June 21, 2004;

 

·         50.00 cents per litre for regular beer and 36.50 cents per litre for draught on the next 75,000 hectolitres, up to 150,000 hectolitres of beer shipped in Ontario on or after June 21, 2004; and

 

·         55.55 cents per litre for regular beer and 40.55 cents per litre for draught when over 150,000 hectolitres of beer is shipped in Ontario on or after June 21, 2004.

 

Regular beer is shipped in containers with a capacity of less than 18 litres. Draught beer is beer shipped in containers with a capacity equal to or greater than 18 litres.

 

When a microbrewery reaches subsequent thresholds (as reported to the AGCO) within the same fiscal year, they will then be charged the next basic fee rate.

Note: Spirits are subject to floor pricing, wine purchased by the LCBO is subject to a Non-Discriminatory Reference Price, and beer is subject to a Minimum Retail Price.
