According to the South African Business Technology website reported on October 25, the South African Healthy Living Alliance (HEALA) has proposed to increase the collection of a health promotion tax (or "sugar tax") proposed to be increased in 2023
.
The "sugar tax" is levied on non-alcoholic sugary beverages and is equivalent to about
10% of the cost per liter of sugary drinks.
South African Finance Minister Godongguana announced in his 2022 Budget Speech that the "sugar tax" on beverages containing more than 4g of sugar per 100ml will be increased from 2.
21c/g to 2.
31c/g, initially expected to take effect from April 1, 2022, but delayed by
a year to 2023.
HEA has made three proposals to increase the "sugar tax", including that the South African Ministry of Finance must increase the tax rate on sugar-sweetened beverages per litre to 20%, reduce the sugar threshold per 100ml from 4g to 2g, and include fruit juice in the sugar-sweetened beverage range
