Beer tax rate to remain frozen
The Ford government is cutting LCBO wholesale prices for bars and restaurants, enabling curbside pickup of beer, wine and cider from licensed grocery stores, and freezing the basic beer tax rate.
The government will also make the extension of retail sale hours of booze between 7am and 11pm permanent.
The extended hours for alcohol sales were first put in place in March 2020 in response to COVID-19.
