The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5116, aims to amend chapter 219 of the general statutes by reducing the rate of the sales and use taxes to six per cent. This legislative change is intended to provide financial relief to consumers by lowering the tax burden associated with sales and use transactions. The bill does not specify any deletions from the current law, focusing solely on the insertion of the new tax rate. The overall purpose of the bill is to simplify the tax structure and potentially stimulate economic activity by making goods and services more affordable for residents.
