The 1p per pint cut in beer duty outlined in the 2013 Budget could help with pub furniture replacements by increasing attendance at the nation's pubs and releasing more funds for much-needed purchases.
Over the past few years, the widely criticised alcohol duty escalator has seen beer duty rise by more than the rate of inflation, with visible effects on the number of profitable pubs throughout the UK.
In the 2013 Budget, the escalator has been retained for wines and spirits, but cancelled on beer prices - and beer duty has been adjusted downwards in a way that should mean an average 1p per pint fall in prices.
When this measure is introduced on Sunday, it is likely to lead to increased custom for many pubs as regulars and new customers alike celebrate the long-overdue fall in prices.
In turn, for venues who have struggled to cover the cost of running repairs, the extra income could provide the funds for any delayed pub furniture replacements that have been put off in recent months.
Further measures may be yet to come on spirits and wines; while the Budget outlines increases in duty on these products, the Wine and Spirit Trade Association, along with some other critics, claim there is legal precedent for all alcohol duty being pegged together.
As such, in order for the cut in beer duty to be enforceable, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne may yet be forced to apply a similar reduction on alcohol duty across the board.
