A Non-Obese Tax Rebate?

Not trying to be rude here but it looks as though there might well be an extra tax burden on us all soon simply because there are a large number of obese people in this county! The Sugar Tax.

A tax that could be put into place simply to try and stop people becoming obese. There is no other real reason for one to be introduced. But what about those amongst the population who use sugar, like sugar, like the occasional sugary product but are not obese? Are those people going to be unfairly taxed because as far as I can see everybody that likes the sugary products will be hit in the pocket by The Sugar Tax.

So. If this tax is brought in then how about a Non-Obese Tax Rebate to compensate those people for whom the tax would be clearly unfair? Every year on their income tax return the tax-payer could include his/her height and weight and if not declared obese could have a rebate on their tax. Those on the PAYE scheme could have the same done by their employers. Result. Those that need taxing over their sugar intake would pay The Sugar Tax and those that don't need it would not be hit.

Good idea eh? Now where is my MP's contact details, I am sure he will see the sense in this? Toodle ooh!
