Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, obezite ile mücadelede uygulanan vergileme politikasını ele almaktır. Çalışmada son yıllarda gündemde olan obezite vergilerinin tanımı, amaçları, etkileri ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelenmiş ve Türkiye’de uygulanabilirliği değerlendirilmiştir. Bu makaleye göre; Avrupa Birliği Üyesi ülkelerde uygulanmaya başlanan bu vergilerin Türkiye’de de uygulanabilirliğinin değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Çalışma sonunda obezite vergisi adı altında uygulanabilecek bir vergi ile sağlıklı gıdaların daha az, sağlıksız gıdaların ise daha fazla vergilendirilmesi yoluyla, bireylerin sağlıksız gıda tüketiminin azaltılabileceği ve daha sağlıklı gıdaları tercih etmelerinin sağlanabileceği öne sürülmektedir.
