A 10-percent excise tax on indoor UV tanning services goes into effect on July 1, 2010. The tax doesn’t apply to phototherapy services performed by a licensed medical professional on his or her premises. There’s also an exception for certain physical fitness facilities that offer tanning as an incidental service to members without a separately identifiable fee.

For more information on the tax and how it will be administered, go to the IRS website.
