The Government’s sugar tax(税) on soft drinks has brought in half as much money as Ministers first predicted it would make, the first official data on the policy has shown.
First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to(适用于) soft drinks having more than 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help cut down childhood obesity(肥胖).
In the beginning, the sugar tax was expected to make £520m a year for the Treasury(国库).
It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers(制造商) so that they can avoid paying the tax.

D.It is believed that today’s children and teenagers are drinking three times the suggested level of sugar. |
E.Since April, drinks companies have been forced to pay from 18p to 24p for every liter of sugary drink they produce. |

It found that twenty percent of the children didn’t drink any water. That’s on any given day. It also showed that those kids got more calories (卡路里) from sweet drinks. That’s compared to children who did drink water every day. Children who do not drink water can have almost twice as many calories. “Kids should drink water every day.
