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 proposes a temporary sales tax exemption for exercise equipment purchased by individuals for personal use. The measure would allow buyers to avoid paying sales tax on items such as machines, tools, or wearable gear designed to improve physical strength or flexibility. This tax break applies only during a six-month window starting on July 1, 2026, and covers purchases made within that period even if the equipment is delivered later. The Department of Revenue would be responsible for publishing online guidance to help consumers understand how to claim this exclusion.
