"I’d remove tax on clothes and food, as we have to eat and wear clothes."
Eat less and shrink into childrens clothes
There's no VAT on them
It's a win, win  |

I’d remove inheritance tax and stamp duty on houses after their initial sale.
Fair enough paying stamp duty the first time a house is sold but charging it every time the house is sold seems unreasonable.
We pay tax on our earnings, tax on our purchases, tax on our savings etc. For our loved ones to then pay tax on our estate when we leave it to them after we die seems very unfair.

"You don't pay for sanitary products in Scotland. "
Your spoilt lol, no prescription fees, no hospital parking fees and no sanitary product fees, think we should all be reimbursed in England, would make a tidy sum after all these years  |

I just had to Google it as I don't know anything about it.
I think that's amazing.
Well done Scotland! |

"as VAT is a European tax we should not have to pay it now, but I expect somewhere in the small print of the deal that Boris does not read the EU still takes its cut "
VAT replaced the 55% purchase tax. If we get that back you can pay my share.
Thanks |

Why didn't the government seize the opportunity to make sanitary products free instead of just removing 5% vat?
they'll probably just waste more hundreds of millions re-naming it back to its pre 1973 moniker "Purchase Tax".
for starters i'd remove vat on power, green building materials, musical instruments, domestic renewable energy generation installations, mobility aids, maternity pads, bicycles and bicycle parts |

Things are not "FREE" for sanitary products to be supplied for free, they would have to be paid for by the tax payer. |

Also if you’re going to make sanitary products free, then you would have to make toilet roll free. |

Cause it would still have to paid for, whether it’s indirectly or not. |

I have no problem with the concept, but I do have an issue with tax-payers money being used to generate profits for private companies. Maybe the government should build a factory and make national sanitary products? |

Let’s make toilet roll free, then soap, food, what about food, I mean I don’t wanna have to eat it cause it costs me a fortune, but then if I don’t I feel weak, it’s all so unfair. |

i didn't imply that .... but if i had to voice a preference it would be to lift the burden from women and make sanitary products free rather than reinforce this chumocracy with tax payers money.
maybe the ladies on fab disagree

I dunno about that, but they certainly shouldn’t have been taxed. "
Why should we have to pay for something that is completely out of our control and is already a massive inconvenience at the least to most of us?
Do you have to pay for your bollocks?
Why should I pay for my uterus?

Why do so many assume that if things are free that everyone will stop buying them?! The free sanitary products will almost always be used by women that cannot afford them or are caught short. Condoms are free but there are still plenty of people that pay for them, what's the difference? Apart from most women will NEED sanitary products for a fair bit of their lifetime, regardless. |

"The taxpayer will always pay for everything in some way....nothing the government supplies is really "free" someone somewhere is paying. "
I don't have a problem with that if it means nobody goes without something that is necessary... I don't understand people that aren't... We all need some help at some point. |

Tax on pensions.
Anyone who has paid taxes their whole life and put away for the future, helping to contribute to helping others should be able to retire without paying tax in my opinion. Dues have been paid enough |

Don't agree with this but see your point.
I believe if someone works hard and is able to retire early, this shouldn't matter. They've inevitably paid more in taxes anyway to account for the losses further down the line |

i disagree .... it's a mater of productivity. if retirement age is set then contribution should be paid into society until then. this won't stop early retirement and is the fairest method. |

EU had a 5% minimum. Of course if they were free, 5% of nothing would also have been nothing... |

Crowing about this being a benefit of leaving the EU is disingenuous at best.
The Tory government voted against removing the tax a few years ago which makes a mockery of people trying to make out this is a demonstration of the loosening of EU “shackles”. |

Exactly this and I would still pay for mine regardless of whether I get it free because I would feel like I was taking them away from someone else who needed them, supplies won't be unlimited, someone would go without
Plus I'd need a fuck ton of them |

They'll kiss that goodbye if they split and rejoin the EU. You can't have persistent 5-10% budget deficits without the eurocrat knocking on your door and imposing blessed austerity . |

VAT has nothing to do with the EU and VAT is not duty it is just VAT. So it is incorrect to call it a 'tampon tax'. And if that no longer requires VAT then why not men's razors? |

"Inheritance tax
The amount needed to be inherited to pay it is rarely reached by most people "
If you leave assests (including a home) valued at over £320,000 you are liable for inheritance tax. One half of a married couple can pass to the other without tax but when someone who is widowed dies their children will be taxed. With property prices it is very easy for a house to be worth over £320k. |

If you leave your estate to your children then I think it’s £500k now then it would be 40% of anything over that value |
