So basically it’s working in reducing sugar consumption and they struggling to externalize produce?
I mean they can reduce or remove the tax BUT sugar content on food items would have to be regulated directly to have same impact(health/arrest rise in diabetes which is a growing trend and cost for gov). Now good luck on that regulation body with many products.. I suspect this way(per food item) is more costly to administer and doesn’t offer relief (cost recovery) to existing problem (health costs) either.
This would be like tobacco farmers and manufacturers asking for the same thing.
Keep pushing for this tax to be abolished. This ANC government taxes absolutely everything!!!!They don’t feel the pain as they earn fat cat salaries!!!!
