Rejected petition Remove VAT from Sanitary Products

More details

VAT should be removed from Sanitary Products as these should not be classed as luxury items. Menstruation is not luxurious and neither should be the necessary products used during this time.

Sanitary Products are a necessity, not a luxury and therefore VAT should not be added to the price.
