AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to allow customers who return purchased merchandise within a certain timeframe to receive a refund of the sales tax paid, without interest. Specifically, the bill states that if a customer returns property purchased at retail within 30 to 90 days, or in the case of a motor vehicle within 180 days to one year and 90 days, and receives a full refund minus any handling fees, they are entitled to a refund of the sales tax paid. This change aims to provide relief to consumers who return items within a reasonable period.
