Rhode Island pushes to tax sugary drinks

The Rhode Island Public Health Institute (RIPHI) today announced their strong support of legislation (2021-S 0327 / 2021-H 5715) introduced by Sen. Valarie J. Lawson (D-Dist. 14, East Providence) and Rep. Jean Philippe Barros (D-Dist. 59, Pawtucket) establishing a tax on sugary drinks in Rhode Island. If enacted, the legislation would designate a portion of the revenues generated to expand access to nutritious food for low- income families by establishing a Retail SNAP Incentive Program that would incentivize consumption of healthy fruits and vegetables.
“Now, more than ever, many Rhode Islanders are hungry and have limited access to healthy foods. This important legislation will help alleviate hunger and promote healthy eating across Rhode Island,” said Dr. Amy Nunn, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Public Health Institute. “We are committed to developing innovative and long-term solutions to Rhode Island’s most pressing public health problems.

2 States Consider Taxing Sugary Beverages

Digital Editor
The tax proposal in Washington state would increase the cost of a 12-ounce can of regular soda by 21 cents for consumers.
Both Rhode Island and Washington are considering enacting taxes on sugary beverages.
Sugar-sweetened beverages, which include calorically sweetened sodas, energy and sports drinks, coffees, teas and fruit drinks, are the primary source of added sugars in the U.S. diet, increasing the risk of cardiometabolic diseases.
Taxes on these beverages have been enacted by such U.S. cities as Albany, California; Berkeley, California; Boulder, Colorado; Oakland, California; Philadelphia; San Francisco; and Seattle.

The advocates make this case: This proposal will have no effect on Rhode Islanders outside of the top 1%.This proposal impacts approximately 5,000 tax filers.
They also contend: the poorest taxpaying Rhode Islanders pay a larger share of their income, 12.1%, in sales, income, property and excise taxes than the wealthiest, 7.9%. By their calculations: the tax bill for someone with a taxable income of $500,000 would go up $750 and a $5 million taxable income, by $137,750. ....
