The Netherlands Ministry of Finance, together with the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, on June 12, 2026, submitted a government letter outlining the status of sugar taxation policy in the Netherlands.

The letter covers plans to convert the existing consumption tax on non-alcoholic drinks into a sugar-content-based tax and to develop a broader sugar tax for food products.
