Running a wine or cider business in Australia comes with its own set of challenges — and one of the biggest is Wine Equalisation Tax (WET) reporting. Unlike beer and spirits, which are subject to excise, wine and other applicable wine products — including qualifying cider, perry, mead and sake — fall under the WET system, making compliance an unavoidable (and often complex) part of the job.
Spirits are subject to alcohol excise rather than WET — see Qdos for whisky and spirits.
For wholesalers and retailers, this can quickly become a bottleneck:
At Qdos, we understand the Australian wine and cider industry. That’s why we’ve built an ERP system purpose-built for liquor wholesalers and retailers.
✅ WET calculated in Qdos and reported clearly — no more manual spreadsheets or double-handling
✅ Centralised wholesale, retail, and ecommerce management — all in one system
✅ Real-time stock and order visibility — reduce costly mistakes and delays
✅ Scalable platform — from independent retailers through to multi-state wholesale networks
Qdos goes beyond tax and compliance. By removing manual processes, our ERP helps liquor businesses:
We’re proud to support some of Australia’s most respected wine and cider wholesalers and retailers, helping them stay compliant while building stronger, more efficient businesses.
If WET reporting is slowing you down, it might be time to look at a solution that understands the unique needs of the Australian liquor industry.
