Budget Briefing Notes
Our rapid-response reports offer timely analysis of the potential implications of changes to alcohol and tobacco taxation following UK Budget announcements.
SARG researchers use the sophisticated Sheffield Tobacco and Alcohol Modelling Platform (STAPM) to estimate the potential health and economic effects of changes to tobacco and alcohol tax announced in UK Government Budgets.
The first Budget Briefing Note was released immediately after the Autumn 2024 Budget and this page will list all future reports.
If you'd like to discuss our modelling capabilities, or the results published in any of our Budget Briefing Notes, drop us a line at sarg@sheffield.ac.uk and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
