This Bill would broaden the VAT relief on clothes for children. It expands what counts as children's clothing for VAT exemption and adds more school uniform items to be exempt, aiming to lower the cost for families buying clothes and uniforms.
The Bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons; if it progresses, it would move to the Committee stage for detailed scrutiny.
