Tax-related Issues

Taxable and Non-taxable Dental Supplies
To come to a consensus regarding the taxability of dental supplies, a task force of PDA members, legal counsel and representatives from Benco Dental Supplies was established and met with the Department of Revenue in 1995. The task force determined that any single-use item used in direct contact with the patient is a non-taxable item.
