In Italy, the VAT on sanitary products amounts to 22 percent, which is the taxation rate for not primary goods. However, at the end of 2019 the VAT on organic tampons and pads was lowered by five percent. In a survey conducted in the same period, 67 percent of respondents did not see this measure as a significant tax reduction on female hygiene products.
