What's your view of the sugar tax UK.....and will Ireland follow ?
The so-called ‘sugar tax’ has been spoken about extensively in the media as one of the biggest pieces of health legislation in recent memory.
It’s official name is the Soft Drinks Industry Levy, and it’s a surcharge on all soft drinks that have over a certain amount of sugar.
The main reason for the tax is to reduce obesity in the hope that the increased cost will stop people from buying fizzy drinks as often, and therefore consuming less sugar.
