Changes in sugar-sweetened beverages and non-essential energy-dense food purchases overall and by type before and after the implementation of taxes in Mexico: repeated cross-sectional national surveys (2008–2018)
Despite the modest amounts of taxes in Mexico, reductions in purchases were documented 4 years after implementation, emphasising the potential benefits of increasing the taxes. Heterogeneity in purchases by store types suggests the need to analyse differences in the tax pass-through and its mechanisms at the store level.
