Translation.

No taxes, period. Sweden has a 25 % sales tax on sanitary products. That´s a lot. And even more so, considering that a decision from 2016 gives EU-countries the right to adjust this tax as they please. So, why isn´t it lower? Why isn´t somebody doing something, or just anything, about this issue? That´s hard for us to say. After all, we´re not politicians. But we are a pharmacy. And that´s why, starting today, we are lowering prices on all of our tampons and pads with 25 %. Because no women should have to pay tax on her period, period.
