Make sanitary products VAT-free
The Welsh Government has banned the sale of non-essential items in supermarkets during a 17-day lockdown.
Health Minister Vaughan Gething has said that Tesco was "simply wrong" to tell a woman she could not buy period products during the welsh lockdown.
Tampons, sanitary pads, and menstrual cups are currently categorised as "non-essential, luxury goods" and have 5 percent VAT (value-added tax) added to their price.
They’re either essential (in which case we should stop paying VAT on them) or they’re not (they are).
