VIRGINIA – If your company’s still providing workers with masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE) due to COVID-19, those purchases are now taxable.
Here’s why: The temporary sales and use tax exemption for qualified PPE purchases by businesses expired on March 24, 2022.
Since Virginia’s no longer under a state of emergency and all COVID-related legislation has expired or been repealed, the tax exemption is also invalid.
Any PPE purchases made on or before March 23, 2022, still qualify for the exemption, however.
