Proiect de eliminare a TVA la absorbante, scutece și prezervative: „Produsele de igienă esenţiale nu sunt un lux şi nu ar trebui taxate ca atare”

Two independent deputies in Romania have proposed a bill to eliminate VAT on essential hygiene products such as sanitary pads, diapers, incontinence products, and condoms. They argue that hygiene is a basic need and should not be taxed as a luxury. The initiative aims to alleviate financial burdens on families and vulnerable individuals, aligning with EU legislation that allows preferential tax treatments for essential goods. The proposed tax exemption would apply directly at the point of sale without income or age restrictions. The deputies urge the new government to support this initiative to demonstrate commitment to public health and family support.
