According to the document, the sweetest drinks, whose sugar content is equal to or greater than 80 grams per litre will begin to be taxed at 20.26 €/hl.
Drinks with the lowest sugar content (below 25 grams/litre), will see taxes rise from 1 to 1.01 €/hl and in the next level (equal to or above 25g/l, but less than 50g/l ) the tax to be collected is increased by six cents, reaching 6.08 €/hl.
For drinks with a sugar content of 50 g/l or more, but less than 80 g/l, the tax is €8.10/hl (it was €8.02/hl).
The revenue obtained from the tax on sugary non-alcoholic beverages was included in the OE2021 to help the sustainability of the National Health Service.
Great stuff. Should actually be indexed to inflation also. And maybe we could do the same for paint spray cans starting with a 10 euro increase per can...(who uses it anymore other than vandals?)
