Policy group SAAPA SA has called on Finance Minister Tito Mboweni to significantly increase the excise tax on alcohol when he outlines the annual Budget.
The Southern African Alcohol Policy Alliance in South Africa (SAAPA SA) says Treasury needs to hike the excise tax on alcohol to discourage excessive consumption and raise funds for public health promotion.
Excise tax is a special duty imposed on items that can cause harm to people, such as alcohol, tobacco, sugar, and fuel.
