@JuliaHB1 seem's to be missing the principle that considering tampons "luxury items" = massively outdated #tampontaxhttps://twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/659299406026514432 …
@Cl41re_r no, I'm not missing the point. Plenty of other necessities are charged at 20% VAT. They're not luxuries either. And it's "seems".

@JuliaHB1 Hate typos; that's my fat fingers. but my point is still valid. Historical tax from when these items were considered a luxury -
@Cl41re_r yes but so are most things we consider as necessities treated as luxuries by EU VAT regime. Why pick campaign on tampons?

@JuliaHB1 Why not?They're exclusively used by women so the tax is unequal- gendered pricing doesn't appear to be very forward thinking to me
