Sugar
tax
The UK
will start taxing sugary drinks, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, George Osborne, announced on 16 March.
In a report
for the British Soft Drinks
Association, Oxford Economics
argues the tax will
cost £132 million and 4,000 jobs. We argue these estimates are not only
extremely uncertain, but also grossly overstate the economic costs of the sugar
tax.
