No VAT on feminine hygiene products

Additional Information

Value Added Tax is added to products deemed 'luxuries'. Currently all feminine hygiene products are sold with a reduced rate of 5% VAT.

We the undersigned argue that menstruation is generally not regarded as a 'luxury' and that tampons, sanitary towels and menstrual cups are essentials.

We ask that the government remove this reduced rate VAT on all feminine hygiene products.
