Minister for Finance

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the sale of sanitary towels and tampons is subject to Value-Added Tax (VAT) at the zero rate and as such no VAT is collected on the sale of these products. The Deputy may note that an extensive list of products and services linked to the applicable rate of VAT is available on the Revenue website at:
