Sugar is a perfectly fine part of a lot of foods. All the kinds of cakes for example. But for this kind of foods, you would know that it is a sugary food. What I get more and more angry about is the tendency of the food industry to put sugar into almost any food to sell more. This isn't only somewhat shady and detrimental to our food culture, but most of all a danger to public health. Overeating of sugar has been linked to many health concerns beyond obviously, getting fat. I fully support any food regulations, which require labelling the sugar content and prevent to use food type names which usually suggest no sugar content. In this case, collecting tax breaks for "bread". Call it "sweet bread" and pay the normal taxes, and everyone is happy. It would also be a servicd to your customers to tell them, that you are not serving them "bread". They have a right to know.
As a side note: beyond any possible health concerns, we have wonderful traditional foods, which can be made without any fancy ingredients. Bread, beer, pasta, so many more. Done well, they are absolutely delicious. It always makes me sad, if they get perverted by industry adding stuff which doesn't belong into those foods for a quick sell. I am not against innovation. Put any new ingredient into your product, but don't claim it is any of the traditional foods. There is nothing wrong with "sweet bread" for example, unless it tries to hide the sugar.
