Germany to introduce a sugar tax on 1 July 2027
Germany | Consumers will not be pleased. Following the agreement between the coalition partners, the Federal Cabinet introduced a sugar tax bill on 14 October. If parliament approves it, a two-tier model based on sugar content will take effect on 1 July 2027.

It expects that the new tax will generate approximately EUR 690 million (USD 775 million) in revenue in 2027 and EUR 925 million in 2028.
