4 liquor stocks from sin tax to prohibition:
In a large number of countries across the world, liquor is a heavily taxed business. Despite being heavily taxed, if one looks at the long term trends, it is business which grows at a certain rate irrespective of all headwinds.
In India, liquor is a state subject and many state governments publicly say they don't want to grow, but if one looks at their revenue collection numbers it is clear they cannot stay without it.
A bottle of liquor is a particular brand which cost Rs 400 in one state may cost as much as Rs 1200 in another.
Because it is a business which gets a good part of the state government's revenue, they don't want to lose their power to tax liquor business and it is still out of the ambit of GST.
One of the reasons, over the years, these companies have been able to build one or two strong brands which ensures that they are able to manage headwinds. A big factor in this business is the establishment of the brand. History is filled with examples.
State governments try to tax at maximum rates, what happened in the initial phase of covid lockdowns, it is clear that the state governments have released that they cannot tax it beyond a point.
