A new type of tax…

Written By Mohammed Tanweer

Then consider the following questions:

  • Why have SF implemented this tax?

  • What, if any, might be some of the negatives of imposing this tax?

  • Do you think more countries/states should follow suit?

  • Can you think of a different policy to achieve the same aim?
