[QUOTE="andcol, post: 1105322, member: 96315"] unfortunately it isnt a tax as such that can be taken off. It is a charge made on the manufacturers. The aim is to drive them to have less sugar. So (as an example) you may still be able to buy your lucozade but would possibly need to drink the whole bottle to get 20g. If it had been a tax like VAT or petrol fuel duty then it would have been easy to determine what that is for each item. Personally I think they should treat it just the same as each other sweet fizzy drink. [/QUOTE]
