Rejected petition Scrap VAT on Tampons and Sanitary Towels

More details

VAT is for non-essential items, so why is there VAT on sanitary protection for women, they are very essential and VERY expensive, therefore I think the government should get rid of the VAT on these products. the governemt is mainly run by men who don't understand how annoying this issue is, so lets make them aware.
