A law that was signed in June which prevents California retailers, including in Santa Clarita, from taxing menstrual hygiene products and diapers went into effect at the beginning of 2020, officials said.
Senate Bill 92 was signed into law on June 27, 2019 by Governor Gavin Newsom. The bill took effect Jan. 1, 2020 and is expected to last until Dec. 31, 2021, according to lawmakers.
SB 92 states that all diapers manufactured for infants, toddlers and children, along with tampons, specified sanitary napkins, menstrual sponges and menstrual cups, cannot be taxed during this two-year period, the bill text reads.
Sellers of these items should not charge or collect sales or use tax on these items during this period, according to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
Retailers who sell diapers and menstrual hygiene products are continuing to include sales of these items in their reported total gross sales on their sales and use tax returns, according to officials.
Santa Clarita residents who were taxed on these products on or after Jan. 1, 2020 can bring their receipt to the retailer with a copy of a notice from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
For more information regarding this notice, call 800-400-7115. Customer service representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
