Chancellor has removed VAT from period pants

This follows Sunak introducing the highest tax rises since 1956

Is this the sign of more tax cuts to come to get the tories re-elected

Period pants are slightly diggerent from other sanitary products that were already exempt in that they're reusable. It was announced in August these would become VAT exempt

There is a reasonable chance of more tax cuts with the election looming but it's a pointless exercise as they may well be reversed by the new administration

Which is precisely the point.

A) Tories announce tax cuts and on seeing headlines people vote Tory and they win (but in small print the stealth taxes will have still increased to balance the books).

B) Labour get in and are forced to reverse or amend tax cuts asap to keep books balanced and Tories use it to bash them for 4-5 years while in opposition.

We don't foresee the situation changing regardless of whoever gets voted in. None of us are electing people who actually plan and implement the policies.

In defence of the Tories. Their plan has been implemented. Just so happens that representing the interests of British people isn't really a part of their plan.

Them and their friends, neighbours, party donor's etc have made some serious wedge over the past 13 years.

Indeed and seems to be a popular tactic. Also raising tax before a likely election defeat so the new government put it down and get the criticism. Not sure how much it will cost to do this but doubt it is vast so will have to wait and see if Labour bring it back
