Tampon Tax

Now here's a woman you wouldn't want to meet on a dark night: UKIP deputy chairman Suzanne Evans. In a bid to attract female voters to UKIP she promises to remove VAT (currently at 17.5%) on sanitary products. UK newspapers have called this the Tampon Tax (CLICK). Farcically the BBC sent a reporter to interview a team of female rugby players to ascertain what they thought. They agreed with the idea, but said it wouldn't persuade them to vote for UKIP. Blame the EU. Sanitary products are taxed as a luxury!
