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 a new database compiled by WHO which 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.
