The Finance Minister announced that to enable stakeholders in the sugar industry to restructure, given the challenges from greater regional competitive pressures and the effect of recent floods and public violence, there will be no increase in the Health Promotion Levy in 2023/24 and 2024/25.
Government will soon publish a discussion paper on the Health Promotion Levy for consultation on proposals to extend the Health Promotion Levy to pure fruit juices and lower the 4-gram threshold.
