AI Summary
This bill proposes to increase the state's general consumer sales and service tax rate from six percent to eight percent on most sales and services, while also abolishing the state's personal income tax. The sales tax increase will be reflected in how tax is calculated on fractional parts of a dollar, with new rates for smaller purchase amounts and a revised rounding method for sales over one dollar. The bill specifically repeals all sections related to personal income tax, which is a tax levied on an individual's earnings.
