Take Tax Off Sunscreen

Ad

Sunscreen is currently classified in the UK as a “cosmetic product”, which means that it is subject to 20% VAT. Wearing sunscreen is key to preventing sunburn, one of the major causes of skin cancer. It's not cosmetic: it's essential.

That's why we're working with Co-op Pharmacy to ask the government to reclassify sunscreen as an essential healthcare item, making it exempt from VAT.

Making sunscreen cheaper will encourage more people to wear it regularly, which is key to our battle against skin cancer. Will you add your name now and call on the Government to #TakeTaxOffSunscreen?
