  • Tesco Will Pay The Tampon Tax 

    Tesco is the first store to announce they will be paying the tax on nearly  100 feminine hygiene products.

     Tesco will pay the controversial charge that applies to sanitary products after saying that the cost of buying the products was a “real struggle” for many of its customers.

    Tesco said it will act immediately rather than wait for VAT on products to be scrapped

    Tesco will cut the price of sanitary products by 5 per cent and cover the cost of the “tampon tax” itself, the large supermarket chain has announced.

  • Nappy Tax

    A new “nappy tax” will hit families with babies in nappies – as they will be expected to pay an additional charge for “special bins” as if having a new born isn’t expensive enough.
    As a result, local councils are asking parents for an additional fee to take away nappies as part of their household waste. This extra cost can be as much as £62

    These charges are for either larger bins or special plastic sacks.

    7 local councils in the south-west are demanding the payments – resulting in them gaining up to £100,000 a year in extra income.

    “Family finances are often at their most stretched with the arrival of a new baby, due to maternity leave  and the costs associated with a newborn.”

    MP Jo Swinson told the Daily Mail

    “The last thing parents need is to be whacked by extra charges from the council.”
    What do you think? Would you pay this extra money?
