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.
