Bill > HB05961

This bill aims to modify existing sales tax regulations by creating a specific exemption for disabled individuals when they make purchases through Internet marketplace facilitators. An Internet marketplace facilitator is a digital platform (like Amazon or eBay) that enables third-party sellers to sell goods online and handles transactions on their behalf. Under this proposed legislation, any items purchased by disabled individuals through such online platforms would be exempt from sales tax, which means these individuals would not have to pay the additional tax charge when buying goods online. The bill appears to be designed to provide a financial benefit and potentially reduce the economic burden on disabled individuals when making online purchases. The modification would be made to chapter 219 of the general statutes, indicating this is a targeted change to existing tax law to provide a specific form of tax relief for a protected class of citizens.
