Flowers, truffles and even oil paintings: many luxury goods are subject to the reduced tax rate of 7% in Germany. Tampons, on the other hand, an article of daily use, are subject to 19% value added tax. A fiscal discrimination against which the Stuttgart bio tampon company The Female Company is now setting an example. "The Tampon Book" looks like a standard book, but contains 15 organic tampons. Because books are also only taxed at 7%, the founders avoid the tampon tax. It is now available in the online store of The Female Company. The idea for the "Tampon Book" came from Scholz & Friends Berlin. The agency accompanied the entire production of the book.
