What's the logic behind not taxing 100% juice? It has just as much sugar as a Coke; the fact the sugar comes from a grape/apple/guava etc changes one thing - it's now "naturally" sweetened sugar water.
- tzs 8y agoAs a guess, it is because whether or not the tax applies seems to be based on the ingredient list. 100% orange juice, for example, typically lists either just orange juice, or orange juice plus added vitamins. So, not taxed. The less-than-100% juice drinks usually add sweeteners in addition to the sweetness that comes from the fruit juice. So, taxed.
- berbec 8y agoThink they can bypass this by using concentrated juices as sweeteners?
