Sugar Tax kicks in 6th April

[oddjobbob51]

With the tax adding around 8/10p to the price of a can of 330ml coke , will this affect your choice of what you pick up when buying soft drinks, or will you just carry on and buy what you want and pay more?

Its in the higher band and has 11g of sugar per 100ml serving for a chocolate frijj you only allowed upto 5-7.9g per 100ml to be in lower rate and under 5g for no tax

It’s sweet as fuck.

I love the rage of the usual

“I don’t often buy [newly taxed product] so why should I be punished?

If you’re paying 10p extra for something you have maybe once a month, that’s an extra £1.20 a year it’ll cost you.

f***ing hell

Oh and also - it’s a regressive tax! It’ll hit the poorest the hardest!

That’s the point! The fat kids with no teeth are usually the poor ones.

Tyler and Chantelle are drinking crap when Rupert and Olivia are drinking water

My only issue with it is that I don’t think it will stop there.

I buy what I want and pay less. No sugar for me.

Never buy sugary drinks or juice. The concentration of sugar is too much. Once you stop drinking them they taste ridiculously sugary if you try one.
