Legislation that would exempt Sales and Use Tax on personal protection equipment passed the State House today with broad, bipartisan support. The exemption is retroactive to March 10, 2020 and will exist until December 31st of this year.
HB 4224 and HB 4225 are expected to save taxpayers up to $19 million over the duration of the exemption.
In order to qualify for the exemption, a taxpayer would have to have a COVID-19 safety protocol in place and will have to submit the plan to the state for a refund of tax already paid.
