The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 57, seeks to amend chapter 219 of the general statutes regarding the sales price threshold for motor vehicles that are subject to a higher sales and use tax rate. Specifically, the bill aims to increase the sales price threshold to more than sixty-five thousand dollars for vehicles that incur a tax rate of seven and three-fourths percent. Additionally, the bill proposes to index the sales price to reflect the rate of inflation, ensuring that the threshold adjusts over time in accordance with economic changes. The intent of this legislation is to alleviate the tax burden on consumers purchasing higher-priced motor vehicles by raising the threshold at which the higher tax rate applies. By indexing the sales price to inflation, the bill aims to maintain the relevance of the threshold in the face of rising vehicle prices, thereby providing ongoing financial relief to consumers in the automotive market.
