Abstract in brief

This study examines the impact of a sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax introduced in Catalonia in 2017, which required a full pass-through of the tax to consumers and applied different rates based on sugar content.
The findings show that the tax led to a significant 77% decline in SSB sales, with some consumers switching to zero or light drinks, especially in regions with higher obesity rates and household incomes.
The research highlights that when the tax is substantial and immediately increases prices, it causes a quick and noticeable drop in sales, contrasting with earlier studies that suggested pass-through effects only become complete over time.
