Levy (SDIL)<br />

What’s happening<br />

In the Budget April 2016, the government proposed a new levy on soft drinks that<br />

contain added sugar. This levy applies to the production and importation of soft drinks<br />

containing added sugar. The proposals will be implemented in April <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

It’s purpose is to encourage consumers to change behaviour through a broader range<br />

of low sugar choices & RSP differentials.<br />

EFFECTIVE FROM 6 TH APRIL <strong>2018</strong><br />

HOW WILL IT impact LICENSEES?<br />

The Levy Facts<br />

PASS ON THE LEVY<br />

What Licensee’s choose to do with<br />

price is at their discretion. One of<br />

the Levy’s objectives is to encourage<br />

consumers to consume a broader<br />

range of low and no sugar soft drinks.<br />

It is our recommendation that where<br />

the Levy is applied to a product, it<br />

should be passed on to the price the<br />

consumer pays but that’s up to you.<br />

REVIEW YOUR<br />

RANGE<br />

No and low sugar products should<br />

not mean a compromise on taste.<br />

Are you stocking a range of great<br />

tasting no and low sugar products?<br />

See below for must stocks.<br />

OFFER<br />

CHOICE<br />

Consumers will still demand added<br />

sugar soft drinks as a treat within<br />

their balanced diet and lifestyle.<br />

Continue to stock added sugar<br />

products but ensure your space and<br />

stock holding reflects the shift in<br />

consumer demand.<br />

The levy will be applied to drinks with added sugar. Dairy and Pure Juice drinks will be exempt.<br />
