The Beer Association of SA (Basa) has called on finance minister Tito Mboweni to offer the industry some tax relief ahead of his budget speech on Wednesday.
The association, whose members include the Craft Brewers' Association of SA, Heineken SA and SA Breweries (SAB), said tax relief is the least the government can do to help its members, whose businesses have been devastated by the three bans on alcohol trading.
