I have always been amazed why tampax and other ladies sanitary wear is taxed these items are not a luxury. And I thought when Thatcher was PM she would have made these items zero rated on VAT.

Why the contribution is important

No women should have to pay VAT on sanitary wear.

Englishman, you can get free condoms from family planning. But if you do purchase them yes they should be zero rated.
