The soft drink tax entered into force on April 1. We found out how the tax increase is visible on store shelves. We compared the prices of the sims in Iltalehti’s sim test last year with the prices of the same products this year.
The aim of the tax increase is to direct consumption and production from drinks with a high sugar content to drinks with less sugar.
