2016年，南非政府成为非洲地区第一个宣布引入基于糖含量的SSB税的国家，作为减少肥胖的公共卫生措施。这项税收是在南非拥有大量食糖生产和SSB制造业以及非常高的失业率的背景下引入的。在其他国家，引入单边带税等财政措施遭到了协调良好、资金充足的反对。本研究的目的是描述和分析行业在政策制定过程中使用的论点和策略，以反对LMIC的监管行动。本研究分析了在通过南非SSB税的过程中，饮料和相关行业在公众咨询阶段使用的论点和策略。工业界对SSB税的反对是全面的，并采用了几种策略。首先，工业界强调了其经济重要性，以及税收可能造成的潜在失业和其他经济损害。这一论点受到政策制定者的欢迎，与墨西哥等其他中等收入国家采用的行业策略相似。第二，工业界讨论了作为一种政策替代形式的自我管制和自愿措施，这反映了美国、加勒比和拉丁美洲工业界的反应。第三，行业滥用或有争议的证据，以破坏税收的预期效果。最后，考虑到小企业及其与跨国公司竞争的能力是工业界反应的一个独特特点。业界的反对既遵循了总的趋势，也提出了细致入微和针对具体情况的论点。南非工业界的反应对考虑采取类似措施的其他国家具有指导意义。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1186/s12992-020-00647-3获取。
In 2016, the South African government became the first in the African region to announce the introduction of an SSB tax based on sugar content as a public health measure to reduce obesity. This tax was introduced against the backdrop of South Africa having a large sugar production and SSB manufacturing industry, as well as very high unemployment rates. The introduction of fiscal measures, such as a SSB tax, has been met with well-coordinated and funded opposition in other countries. The aim of this study is to describe and analyse the arguments and strategies utilised by industry during policymaking processes to oppose regulatory actions in LMIC. This study analyses arguments and strategies used by the beverage and related industries during the public consultation phase of the process to adopt the South African SSB tax. Industry opposition to the SSB tax was comprehensive and employed several tactics. First, industry underscored its economic importance and the potential job losses and other economic harms that may arise from the tax. This argument was well-received by policymakers, and similar to industry tactics employed in other middle income countries like Mexico. Second, industry discussed self-regulation and voluntary measures as a form of policy substitution, which mirrors industry responses in the US, the Caribbean and Latin America. Third, industry misused or disputed evidence to undermine the perceived efficacy of the tax. Finally, considerations for small business and their ability to compete with multi-national corporations were a unique feature of industry response. Industry opposition followed both general trends, and also introduced nuanced and context-specific arguments. The industry response experienced in South Africa can be instructive for other countries contemplating the introduction of similar measures.
