Seriously? Sugar Tax on Milk & Plant-based Drinks...

The Sugar Tax is expanding… and your milkshake (or oat latte) could be next. The UK government is reviewing the Soft Drinks Industry Levy, and this time it’s not just fizzy drinks on the chopping block. Milk-based and plant-based drinks — previously exempt — may soon be taxed just like regular fizzy drinks.

Whether you sell drinks or just love a sweet treat, this change could hit your wallet OR your profit margin.

In this video, we break down:
✅ What the new Sugar Tax consultation includes
✅ Why milkshakes and oat lattes could LOSE their exemption
✅ The 2 major proposed changes you need to know
✅ How much extra this could cost (real numbers!)
✅ Why reformulating NOW could save your business
✅ Which brands are already ahead of the curve

💡 Small business owner? This could wipe out your margins overnight.
💡 Consumer? Get ready — your favourite drinks may get more expensive.

🚨 Why it matters
The government wants less sugar. Reformulation is the goal.
If all sugary drinks — even “healthy” protein smoothies — get taxed the same as fizzy drinks, the industry could change FAST.

Translation: If your product is still loaded with sugar… it’s time to act.

📅 What’s next?
🔔 Watch the Autumn Budget closely.
This consultation could become LAW in 2025.
Soft drinks businesses… things are about to get interesting.
