Diapers and feminine hygiene products no longer taxed by state in Colorado

Gov. Jared Polis’ office | Pagosa Springs Sun

A new law signed by Gov. Jared Polis will end the state sales and use tax on feminine hygiene products and diapers. 

“From now on in Colorado, there will no longer be state sales tax on diapers and feminine hygiene products. This new bipartisan law finally ends the sales tax on diapers and feminine hygiene products permanently and starts saving people money on these necessary products,” said Polis. 

The law went into effect Aug. 10. 

“Removing the tax on dignity is a smart move, not only to save Coloradans money on essential products but to help remove the stigma around these everyday items,” said Rep. Susan Lontine, D-Denver. “Eliminating the sale taxes on diapers, period, and incontinence products will help improve the affordability of these essential items in a time where inflated prices are hitting working families hard.”
