- At the Autumn Budget 2024, the government launched a review of the Soft Drink Industry Levy’s sugar content threshold and the exemptions for milk-based and milk substitute drinks.
- Following that review, the government has now launched a consultation on proposals to strengthen the SDIL, by reducing the minimum sugar content at which the levy applies and removing the exemption for milk-based drinks.
- Timing: the consultation was issued on 28 April 2025 and closes on 21 July 2025.
