Colorado to end sales tax for period products, diapers this week

By HANNAH METZGER | Colorado Politics

Coloradans will soon be able to purchase period products and diapers without paying state sales taxes, thanks to a new law taking effect Wednesday.

The law, House Bill 1055, expands sales tax exemptions for adult and youth diapers and period products including tampons, pads, menstrual cups, sponges, sanitary napkins and panty liners. Originally, the tax exemption was scheduled to begin in 2023, but it was amended in June to start on Aug. 10 instead.
