Everyone knows that sodas are bad beverage choices, and many
states are trying to punish those bad choices by affixing a heavy tax to soft
drinks and certain unhealthy snack foods as well. The nation has attempted to
pass an act, as have many states and even local towns and cities, but none of
these attempts have been successful thus far. In fact, it is only outside of
the United States—in Mexico—where such a tax has been successful.
All of that might change soon though. Illinois is now facing
a potential tax on soda. Recently, the senator of Illinois suggested a
legislation that would raise taxes on sodas to approximately 67 cents for every
two liters of soda purchased.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to know for sure if this new
legislation will pass, but the fact that it’s even a possibility just goes to
show that the world, at least in terms of taxation practices, is changing. A local Naperville accounting firm can help you to
navigate these changes, however, and to still come out financially strong, and
