Tampon Tax legislation

Tampon tax legislation refers to the tax applied to feminine hygiene products like tampons and pads, which are often classified as luxury or non-essential items and thus taxed as general goods. Many regions have historically imposed sales taxes on these products, despite them being essential for many people's health and daily hygiene. In recent years, efforts have been made to eliminate this tax, treating such products as basic necessities and exempting them from sales tax, aiming to reduce financial barriers and promote gender equality.
