מה קרה

Israel's sugary drink tax, introduced in 2021 and repealed in 2023 under ultra-Orthodox political pressure, led to higher prices that did not fully revert after repeal. Consumption dropped significantly during the tax and remained below pre-tax levels even after repeal. The tax also generated nearly 900 million shekels in revenue in 2022, but its removal cost the state over a billion shekels annually and partially undermined health goals.

  • 01Sugary drink tax raised prices sharply in 2021, but prices stayed 23% higher after 2023 repeal.
  • 02Producers passed full tax cost to consumers and did not fully reduce prices after repeal.
  • 03Consumption of sugary drinks fell nearly 12% during tax and remained 6% below pre-tax levels after repeal.
  • 04Ultra-Orthodox sector showed largest consumption drop and smaller rebound post-repeal.
  • 05Tax shifted consumption from regular to diet sodas, with regular cola down 11.7% and diet up 3.5%.
  • 06Tax generated about 900 million shekels in 2022; repeal cost state over 1 billion shekels annually.
