Aerated Beverage Distributors Face Tax Burden Shift

The government changed how it taxes fizzy drinks, combining different taxes into one big tax of 40%.

This means distributors, the companies that sell these drinks, may have paid taxes they can't use anymore.

Because they can't get back the old tax credits, it could cost them money, possibly leading to higher prices or fewer discounts for customers.

Distributors are now asking the government for help.
