A German plan to levy a tax on sugary drinks has been submitted to the cabinet level. If approved, Germany will tax sugary drinks from July 1, 2027, but will exempt smaller producers from tax. According to German sources, according to this plan, sugary drinks with a sugar content of 5 grams or more per 100 ml will be taxed at a rate of 26 euro cents per liter; when the sugar content per 100 ml reaches 8 grams or more, the tax rate will be raised to 32 euro cents per liter. Sweetened beverages and pure fruit juices are exempt from this tax, as are non-alcoholic beer, non-alcoholic wine, and beverages made from soybeans, nuts, seeds, or grains. Producers of sugary drinks that produce less than 1 million litres per year are exempt from paying this tax to avoid increasing the burden on such businesses.
