Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting from the payment of sales tax the purchase of certain oral hygiene products
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York State tax law to exempt certain oral hygiene products, specifically toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dental floss, from sales tax. Currently, these items are subject to sales tax, but under this proposed legislation, consumers would not have to pay sales tax when purchasing these essential personal care products. The bill specifies that the new tax exemption will take effect on the first day of the sales tax quarterly period that begins at least 90 days after the bill becomes law. By removing the sales tax on these oral hygiene products, the bill aims to make these necessary health and personal care items more affordable for consumers in New York State.
