Bill > H3106

This bill proposes to amend an existing law regarding local meal tax rates, specifically allowing cities and towns to increase their local meals tax to 1.5 percent. Currently, the law appears to have a defined tax rate, and this amendment would provide local municipalities with the option to raise their meals tax to a maximum of 1.5 percent. By giving local governments more flexibility in setting tax rates, the bill aims to potentially generate additional revenue for cities and towns. The proposed change is relatively straightforward, simply inserting the language "or 1.5 per cent" into the existing statute, which would expand the tax rate options for local jurisdictions when levying taxes on prepared meals.
