Reminder: Retailer obligations for MUP compliance
All Scottish businesses selling alcohol products to the public are required to charge at least 65p per unit of alcohol. This requirement has applied to all product sales since 30th September 2024.
To support members with the change, SGF has provided additional materials to help train staff and raise public awareness of the increase in price, such as in-store posters, self-edge labelling and a staff training record.

SGF has also developed an online MUP calculator, available at: SGF online MUP calculator
MUP formula: The price per unit (£0.65) x the strength of alcohol (ABV) x the volume in litres (always ensure to round up to the nearest whole number (e.g. £13.121 is rounded up to £13.13).
