Vermont Senate to vote on exempting feminine hygiene products from sales tax
Modified: 2/25/2021 10:15:36 PM
MONTPELIER A bill that would exempt feminine hygiene products from Vermont’s sales tax has been sent to the Senate floor for a vote.
The bill, SB 53, would lift the sales tax from products including tampons, panty liners, menstrual cups and similar products “designed for feminine hygiene in connection with the human menstrual cycle,” it reads. The Senate Finance Committee voted, 7-0, Wednesday to recommend passage.
Feminine hygiene products are currently subject to Vermont’s 6% sales tax, with an additional 1% local option tax in some communities. State law currently exempts other medical supplies, such as adult diapers and bandages, from the tax.
