Treasury minister says levy has supported a number of public health measures
The treasury minister says the introduction of a sugar tax on the Island has been successful.
Alex Allinson told Manx Radio the charge has helped fund a number of public health measures, including dental services in schools.
The Island introduced the soft drinks levy in 2019 after a similar scheme was brought in by the UK government.
Dr Allinson says when manufacturers were faced with increased costs, they decided to take action:
Revised plans for Lord Street bus station development
Consultation for new National Infrastructure Safety Bill
Steam Packet cancels Friday evening sailings
"Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital is not at risk of closure"
