Healthy taxes in Colombia: dismantling them would be a mistake

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from La Silla Vacía · South America

Varios proyectos de ley proponen derogar los impuestos a las bebidas azucaradas y comestibles ultraprocesados, bajo el argumento de que es regresivo, costoso y poco efectivo. Sin embargo, la evidencia disponible en Colombia y en otros países muestra cambios en el consumo, impactos en salud, adaptación de la industria y pocos indicios de los efectos económicos negativos que se anunciaron. The post Impuestos saludables en Colombia: desmontarlos sería un error appeared first on La Silla Vacía.
