Bill Summary

Relative to taxation on sales of living trees used in commercial and residential landscapes. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to exempt sales of all living trees used in commercial and residential landscapes from the state sales tax. The bill would add this exemption to the existing list of items that are not subject to the state's sales tax, which includes various agricultural products. This change would provide a tax incentive to encourage the purchase and use of living trees for landscaping purposes in both commercial and residential settings.
