Reminds me of my Dad's tale that, as a teenager, his younger sister was given more pocket money than him because she had to buy make up! (Sorry - that was way off subject!) I suspect ‘make-up’ was a euphemism to explain money to buy ‘unmentionsbles’!!! Ie. To buy sanitary products for time if the month....my we have come a long way with more openness etc....now did the VAT on said items get cancelled in the last budget orbis that a battle still to be won?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 It was reduced to 5% some time ago - removing it completely wasn't allowed while we were in the EU. I'm not sure what the current situation is, and whether we count as "out of the EU" for VAT purposes. Given the Chancellor's statement yesterday, I'm assuming not.

I think you are probably right - that hadn't occurred to me! Made me think - at vocational school do girls have the chance to go shopping for 'unmentionables' and for toiletries and things? Or do they have to take enough with them from home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
