Soft Drinks: Taxation
(asked on 26th January 2023) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL).
This question was answered on 9th February 2023
The Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL) has been successful at encouraging the reformulation of soft drinks, with over half of all drinks that would have otherwise been in scope reducing their sugar content.
The Government will continue to monitor the impact of the SDIL in line with public health objectives, such as tackling obesity.
As with all taxes, the Government keeps SDIL under constant review and welcomes representations from stakeholders to inform policy development.
