Kebabs, burgers and pizzas could be hit with 'takeaway tax' under new proposals

Kebabs, burgers, chips and pizzas could all be hit with new levies under proposals from the Commission on Taxation.

The commission has suggested introducing a special rate for unhealthy “ultra-processed” foods.

If introduced, it would be similar to the ‘sugar tax’ brought in on fizzy drinks to discourage people from downing them.
