Alison Thewliss – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Alison Thewliss on 2016-06-15.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the annual revenue arising from VAT on incontinence products is.

Mr David Gauke

VAT arising from the sale of incontinence products and VAT that is recovered on the purchase of incontinence products is not separately itemised on the VAT return, so the requested information is not available.

However, there are many circumstances where incontinence products are supplied at the zero rate of VAT. This includes over the counter sales for personal use.
