How Is Your Sugar Drink Tax Calculated
Law No. 2 of 2026 regarding excise tax on sweetened beverages has come into effect in Qatar, covering all products containing sugar or sweeteners that are capable of being transformed into beverages. The tax is calculated based on the sugar content per 100 ml, at 1.06 Qatari Riyals for high-sugar products (8 grams or more), and 0.77 Riyals for medium-sugar products (5 to 7.99 grams). Artificial sweeteners are exempt from the tax. The law aims to reduce consumption of high-sugar products and encourage manufacturers to lower sugar levels in their products to promote public health.
