HB 2489 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in sales and use tax, further providing for exclusions from tax.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Tax Reform Code to temporarily exempt specific consumer goods from sales tax for a six-month period starting July 1, 2026. The temporary exclusions apply to ceiling fans and related accessories, single-use paper or plastic tableware, and swimwear with sun protection items, provided the purchase is made by an individual for personal rather than business use. To ensure clarity, the Department of Revenue is required to publish a list of exempt items and implementation guidance on its website during this time. The tax relief is limited to the six-month window following the bill's effective date, after which the standard sales tax rules will resume for these products.
