Dear
@authoramish , we are already burdened with so many taxes and cess , kindly do not give new ideas to govt.@ahlade -
@DrJeetG ok if it encourages people to eat less sugar. Have you seen the diabetes and lifestyle disease stats in India?
@authoramish -
@ahlade today u want to tax sugar, next u will tax salt because of hypertension. This short cut approaches are irrational n juvenile. -
@DrJeetG how silly. Sugar farming is extensively subsidised. If it pays for its water/ resource consumption, you arrive at its true cost.
-
@ahlade so u have changed the goal post from health and tax to subsidies. :) -
@DrJeetG no. Which you'd know if you bother to read the entire thread. Removing subsidy is a form of tax. YOU'RE assuming end user tax.
