Petition Cancel the Sugar Tax

The government is introducing the Sugar Tax a.k.a the Soft Drinks Industry Levy in 2018 and this means that soft drinks will either lose some of their good taste due to lower sugar levels or become more expensive as a result of the drink companies passing on the cost of the tax to their customers.

More details

I believe that this tax is an assault on freedom of choice and another example of a nanny state and I call upon the government and parliament to stop its implementation.
