Health taxes are one of the most cost-effective measures for reducing consumption of products with negative health impacts and associated mortality and morbidity. As part of larger tax systems, these taxes can promote healthier populations while generating revenue in low-capacity environments and despite tax administration challenges. However, good health tax policy and administration are critical to achieving positive health and revenue impacts. The Global Tax Program Health Taxes Knowledge Note Series provides policy makers with an overview of relevant issues and feasible policy choices in setting health taxes based on questions that emerge from the field during health tax reforms.
