Portugal to levy sugar tax on soft drinks
The Portuguese government expects to raise EUR 80 million for public health from introducing a sugar tax on soft drinks from 1 February 2017. The new tax would apply to all soft drinks – including flavoured mineral waters – and to drinks with a 0.5-1.2 percent alcohol content that are made with sugar or other sweeteners. On average soft drinks will cost 0.15 euro more.
