Dear OIA, Customs Service,

I asked for some data on "Alcohol excise tax, volume of alcohol beverage and volume of pure alcohol, by region and year" and I am grateful for your response - OIA 17 259 dated 13 November 2017.

However, the response, as a pdf, is not in a format that is easy to analyse and graph. Could you please provide the tables in excel or csv format.

Thanks for your help in this matter.
