Wisconsin Proposes a Bill to Exempt Diapers and Feminine Products from Sales Tax

Wisconsin will enact “a sales and use tax exemption for the sale of diapers, undergarments for incontinence, tampons, and sanitary napkins” from the state’s five percent sales tax. It will be effective the first day of the third month after the publication. The person who makes the sale is responsible for applying and accounting for this exemption. This clause was added to Section 3 of 77.54 (70}, “The sales price from the sale of and the storage, use, or other consumption of diapers, undergarments for incontinence, tampons, and sanitary napkins.” (Wisconsin 2021 Assembly Bill 680, effective three months after the publication)
