Description
Maxime Roche and co-authors compared soda taxes across Latin America and the Caribbean in 2025, using a shared yardstick: the tax as a slice of the shelf price. Sugary drinks drive diabetes and heart disease, and taxes are a proven brake, but only if they bite.
Of twenty-seven countries checked, seventeen taxed sugary drinks at all. The median bite was small, about six and a half percent of the price for big fizzy drinks and barely two percent for energy drinks. Oddly, bottled water sometimes carried a higher tax share than soda. Latin America taxed more firmly than the Caribbean. Two countries set some of the money aside for health. The authors urge higher rates.
