The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5104, seeks to amend chapter 219 of the general statutes by eliminating the additional one per cent sales and use taxes imposed on meals sold by eating establishments, caterers, or grocery stores. The bill aims to relieve consumers and businesses from this extra tax burden, thereby potentially encouraging more dining and catering activities within the state. The primary purpose of this legislation is to eliminate the additional one per cent sales and use taxes on meals, which could enhance affordability for consumers and support local businesses in the food service industry. By removing this tax, the bill intends to stimulate economic activity and provide financial relief to both consumers and food service providers.
