This bill would widen VAT relief on children's clothing by expanding what items count as children's clothing for exemption. It would also extend the VAT exemption to more types of school uniforms. In short, it aims to reduce costs for families buying such clothes and simplify rules for schools and retailers.
The bill is at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons and would need to pass remaining stages in both Houses to become law.
