Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what VAT rate he plans to apply to reusable menstrual products in January 2021.

At Spring Budget on 11 March 2020, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that a zero rate of VAT will apply to women’s sanitary products from 1 January 2021, at the end of the transition period. This will apply to those products which are currently subject to the reduced rate of five per cent, for example, tampons and pads, and to reusable menstrual products, such as keepers.
