Virginia recently signed SB 1715 into law which applies a reduced state sales tax rate of 1.5 percent for essential personal hygiene products which includes diapers, disposable undergarments, pads, menstrual cups, and tampons. The reduced sales tax rate for personal hygiene products will become effective on January 1, 2020 and will be taxed at the same rate as food in Virginia.
