Tax money in aspirin

Hi
im currently doing some coursework and stumbled on a question.
"Individuals will pay tax on aspirin that they purchase. What will the tax money be used for?"
Also would anyone happen to link me to the benefits to a company selling aspirin.

thanks :smile:

I'd like to think the money would go towards research in manufacturing more effective drugs. What I think it should be used for is finding cheaper was to manufacture the drugs without compromising effectiveness so it's less of a drain on healthcare providers or users or governements (through spending on NHS) in terms of financing the drugs. Plus, the money saved would help drug companies in staying strong other they might suffer. Here's a news article which might be interesting ! :smile:
