Rachel Reeves to announce milkshake tax

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves plans to impose a milkshake tax by ending the exemption on dairy drinks from the sugary drink tax, aiming to raise up to £100 million for the Treasury.
Working families could face over £1,000 in losses due to freezing income tax thresholds, as stated by the Treasury.
Critics, including Conservative shadow chancellor Mel Stride, argue that the new tax targets responsible businesses and could unfairly penalize those who have adhered to the rules.
