Subject: | Exempting At-Home COVID-19 Tests from Sales Tax |
In the very near future, I intend to introduce legislation to exempt Rapid At-Home COVID-19 Antigen Tests (also referred to as over-the-counter COVID-19 tests) from Pennsylvania's six percent sales tax. With most essential clothing and medical supplies already exempt from sales tax in Pennsylvania, it seems inconsistent for the Commonwealth to be charging Pennsylvania's consumers, who are making a good-faith effort to know if they have COVID-19 and to protect their family, friends and neighbors against COVID-19 by purchasing at-home tests. Please join me in co-sponsoring this important legislation. If you have any questions, please contact Christine Zubeck in my office at 717-787-6123 or czubeck@pasen.gov. Thank you for your consideration. |
