Here, we look at the plans he "announced"
Cigarettes are heavily "taxed" because they are bad
The campaign "was backed" by readers
It "is set to raise" 520 million, which will on

Takes place, announced, is causing, have been, to cut back. are not passive constructions

Thank you. The reason you say that, is it because they all have an actor for the verb? The verbs are in < > ..dont know why some of it is in bold though :/
The £520m <raised> will <be spent> on school sports (PASSIVE)
Soft drinks manufacturers will <be taxed> according to the volume of the sugar-sweetened drinks they produce or import (PASSIVE)
