Bill > HB05410

This bill proposes to eliminate the additional one percent sales and use taxes currently imposed on meals sold by eating establishments, caterers, and grocery stores. The bill amends Chapter 219 of the general statutes to remove this extra tax, which would effectively reduce the sales tax rate on prepared meals and food items purchased from these types of food service businesses. By removing the supplemental one percent tax, the legislation aims to provide some tax relief for consumers when purchasing meals, potentially making dining out or buying prepared food slightly more affordable. The bill is straightforward in its approach, focusing solely on removing the extra tax without introducing other complex changes to the existing tax structure.
