Tax on child care products??

Fran666 · 2008-09-29 11:00:37

Hi all, Is there a reduced tax rate on infant based products? Things like bottles, dummies, formula, etc. etc.

Yes there is.
On certain items anyway.

The vat rate on such things as baby car seats here is 13.5%,it is 5% in the UK.

Did Fine Gael ever bring in the tax on children's shoes in the end?

There was a massice hoo-ha about it, but I'm not sure if they ever did?
