| Questions raised over sugar tax plans |
| Bratislava, 18.12.2023 |
|
| Plans to slap a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages have been welcomed by healthcare professionals but criticised by economic experts who say the levy will do little to tackle obesity and is really being introduced to shore up budget revenues.
The Finance Ministry has been tasked with preparing a tax on the drinks, but economic analysts and sweet beverage producers say as a single measure such a tax will not improve the country’s health.
“There is a danger that this ‘sugar tax’ will become just another thing taking money out of consumers’ pockets, but failing to meet its objective,” analysts Radovan Ďurana and Matej Bárna of the economic think tank INESS wrote in a study, called Sweet Tax Temptation, published in late October.
