Hi! I would like to request for the latest comprehensive list of medicines that are Vat-Exempt. It would greatly help if the list includes Generic Name, Brand name, dosage, if possible.
I am only able to find a list from prior years and separate files for additional list of medicines. I may not be able to find all those additional lists nor may know of them. A final complete list would truly help.
