Bill > HB05132

This bill amends Title 12 of the general statutes to exempt from sales and use taxes any machinery and equipment that is used in the process of coloring or mixing paint and is also used by retailers who sell paint at retail in the state. Sales tax is a tax on the sale of goods and services, while use tax is a tax on the storage, use, or consumption of goods purchased outside the state but used within the state. This exemption aims to reduce the tax burden on businesses involved in paint preparation and retail.
