Shoppers in Texas no longer have to pay a sales tax on menstrual products, making the state one of the few in the nation to eliminate the so-called “tampon tax.”
A new law that went into effect Friday eliminates the sales tax on feminine hygiene products including items like tampons, menstrual pads and menstrual cups.
In addition to menstrual products, the law, S.B. 379, also eliminates the sales tax on family care items including diapers, baby bottles, baby wipes, maternity clothing and breast milk pump products.
Maybe they figure they should try to help out since they’re trying to force women into pregnancies against their will.
Well aren’t we optimistic this morning.
Edit: in the sense they are trying to help.
Nah. There is a catch just haven’t found it yet.
