S 9981 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Exempts certain pet food from sales taxes

This bill proposes to exempt specific types of pet food from sales taxes. It directly affects pet owners by expanding the definition of tax-exempt items to include a wider variety of products such as kibble, wet food, and fresh or frozen options. The legislation also clarifies that "specialty pet food" for animals with specific dietary needs remains exempt. By adding these categories to the tax law, the measure aims to ensure that more pet food products are not subject to sales tax.
