Abolish the 'tooth tax': remove VAT on children's toothbrushes and toothpaste.
Abolish the 20% VAT on children's oral care products like toothbrushes and toothpaste. Make these essential items zero-rated for VAT (like children's clothing). With an estimated 4.3 million children in poverty, this could ease pressure on families and reduce NHS costs from preventable tooth decay.
