Are you aware that you pay a tax on your tampons? Did you know that HMG class tampons and other items of sanitary products a ‘luxury’?
Who in their right mind would consider something that mopped up the collective mess every month and put a barrier between sanitary and well, unsanitary, a non-essential item?
It beggars belief in this day and age, a product that 50% of the population require on a monthly basis, is taxed. Especially seeing as MPs have recently begun addressing the issue of ‘period poverty’.
Come on England, let’s take a leaf out of Australia’s book and abolish this tax nonsense once and for all.
