Global report on the use of sugar-sweetened beverage taxes, 2025

Overview

This report provides a global assessment of
taxes applied to sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). It describes and
qualitatively compares their design and provides the first global estimation of
standardized metrics to compare tax levels between countries. The assessment is
based on data compiled by WHO for the second time since first publication in
2023. It provides standardized indicators of price and tax level for an
internationally comparable brand of sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage and
information on tax policy for all types of non-alcoholic beverages.
