Ethics and Tax design for childhood overweight and obesity (lessons for adolescents)

26 July, 2022

Dear Sir,

In a nutshell, the stages for tax policy include

1. Tax concept note

2. Proof of concept and evidence

3. Evidence to policy

4. Tax policy

In the case of Health-related food tax, the concept note was prepared

for developed countries and developing countries including India adopted

the same without preparing the tax concept note. I simplified the concept

note and prepared a global framework for health-related food taxation. I

was invited to the engagement group meeting of the 2015 G20 process for

Identifying a global issue and my work was also sent to the 2018 G20

process as a submission on behalf of the research organisation of the

Government of India. Consequently, the G20 Health working group agreed

that evidence-based traditional medicine practices should be incorporated

into the health system.

At the moment Health systems teams are working on the American concept

note. We need to construct a new governance framework for the world. The

attached file has two pieces of information.

1. The Global framework for health-related food taxation is a

comprehensive framework for health governance and financing.

2. Tax design for Childhood overweight and obesity (Prepared to give

effect to matters agreed in 2018 G20 declaration.

Bringing a gold standard regulation in the UK will help other countries

to follow. Please let me know how the attached information can be brought

to the research teams. In India Dr Srinath Reddy (India) informed me that

they have to work on an old American concept note due to funding

commitments.

Please advice.

Thank you very much indeed.

Truly yours,

Guru
