The categories of items are Health and Hygiene, Balanced Diet, and Child Care and Education.
Listed under the Health and Hygiene category are items such as deodorant, body wash and soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, mouth wash, shampoo, conditioner, adult diapers, detergents and bleach.
Under the Balanced Diet category are chicken and other meat kinds, cheese, vegetable and other oils, ketchup, powdered drink mix, peas, beans and legumes and a host of other items.
The Child Care and Education items that are now VAT exempt include baby diapers and exercise books.
