Hello lovely people!!
We have some REALLY exciting news to brighten up your Monday: last week Parliament debated the end of tampon tax. They made a firm commitment. While Brexit has slowed down the scrapping of tampon tax and complicated the issue somewhat, MP Jane Ellison confirmed that a deadline will be set to end the unfair and illogical tax ‘if the move is legal at that point under EU law’. That deadline is April 2018. PERIOD.
This means that MP Paula Sherriff’s tampon-tax-ending amendment to our taxation laws will be practically implemented as soon as possible, but in a way that doesn’t jeopardise our EU negotiations. YES!
While this news is fab, it doesn't mean that we can kick back and relax quite yet. We need to keep up pressure. Sherriff’s amendment was accepted thanks to all of you. Let’s make sure it’s implemented as soon as practically possible by continuing our activism until we see tampon prices drop. This dream is finally in sight!
More updates to follow!
Laura :)
