Conclusions The potential removal of the sugar tax in the UK, considered by Prime Minister Liz Truss, could have economic implications. The tax generates around GBP 300 million (US$346 million) annually for the government, and its elimination would impact public finances. Soft drink brand owners, who have adjusted their products to comply with the tax, may need to make changes to their production and pricing strategies. The overall economic consequences would depend on factors like alternative revenue sources, consumer behavior, and adjustments within the soft drink industry.
