HF 964
Exempts toilet paper sales from state sales tax, providing $6-$10 annual savings per household but reducing government revenue.
HF 964 is a bill that proposes to exempt the sale of toilet paper from state sales tax. The bill was introduced on March 17, 2025 but was ultimately withdrawn before it could be voted on.
The main provision of HF 964 is a sales tax exemption for the purchase of toilet paper. Specifically, the bill states that "the gross receipts from the sale of toilet paper shall be exempt from the state sales tax." This would mean that customers would not have to pay the standard state sales tax when buying toilet paper from retailers.
If enacted, this bill would provide direct financial savings to consumers on their toilet paper purchases by reducing the overall cost. It's estimated this could save the average household around $6-$10 per year, depending on their toilet paper usage and shopping habits.
The bill would also impact state and local government budgets, as the sales tax exemption would result in reduced sales tax revenue. However, the total fiscal impact is expected to be relatively small given the low cost of individual toilet paper purchases.
HF 964 was introduced in the state legislature on March 17, 2025 but was ultimately withdrawn before it could be voted on or advance further in the legislative process. The reasons for the withdrawal are unclear from the available information.
