The single most effective way to prevent skin cancer is by using sunscreen on all exposed skin. It works by blocking the sun's ultraviolet rays, which cause skin cells to mutate and ultimately become cancerous.
In fact, melanoma–the deadliest type of skin cancer–could be prevented in nine out of 10 cases simply by staying safe in the sun. Sunscreen is a healthcare essential, and not just for cancer-prone people like me.
It’s shocking that the likes of kangaroo meat, chartered helicopters and chocolate-chip cookies are VAT zero-rated, yet the Treasury charges VAT on life-saving sunscreen.
Especially not when the biscuits at the cancer clinic are VAT-free. If the government has the power to tax, it should prioritize public health over trivialities.
