    Indian Government Ends Tax on Fem Hy Products

    elimination of 12% tax called a win for women

    08.06.18

    The Indian government has decided to scrap a controversial 12% tax on the feminine hygiene products, it announced in July, marking a victory for campaigners who have lobbied against the tax for more than a year.

     

    "[The country's] sisters and mothers will be happy to hear that sanitary pads have been given a 100% exemption and brought down to a tax rate of zero," says the country's acting finance minister Piyush Goyal. "Now there will be no [tax] on sanitary pads."

     

    The decision is part of a round of tax cuts on several items under India's new national goods and services tax, which was introduced in July 2017 to bring the country's 29 states under a single tax system for the first time in its history.
