PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
VAT on facemasks and other personal protective equipment (9 November 2020)
Motion Details
That this House notes that the Treasury has ended VAT exemptions for face masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE); is concerned that increasing the price of masks and other PPE will discourage people from buying and wearing PPE in line with Government guidance; and urges the Government to reinstate the VAT exemption for the duration of the Covid-19 pandemic, as a vital public health measure.
