Global maps showing countries and smaller jurisdictions with taxes on sugary or sweetened beverages and/or foods high in nutrients or ingredients of health concern. These taxes aim to curb intake of sugar, salt, saturated or trans fat, or excessive calories to improving public health; to encourage industry to shift their products and portfolios towards healthier products; and to raise revenue. Included are brief descriptions of each tax design and dates of implementation and updates.
Last updated October 23, 2024: Added additional taxes and updates from the World Bank’s SSB Tax database, which was published in 2023, and the World Health Organization’s updated Global database on the Implementation of Food and Nutrition Action (GIFNA). Not all taxes from that database are reflected here due to our specific scope of health-focused taxes targeting sweetened beverages and ultra-processed and/or high-in saturated fat, salt, sugar, or calorie foods.
