Connecticut – Budget woes increase sales taxes in more than just a rate increase
Posted by salestax on May 10, 2011
Well, the CT Governor signed it – so, here are the highlights of changes to be effective July 1, 2011 for the sales tax side of things.
· Rate increase from 6%-6.35% (where do they come up with these odd rates?).
· Luxury tax at 7% (i.e. cars over $50K; jewelry over $5K).
· Personal services now taxed: Mani/Pedi, Massages, Pet Grooming
· All clothing now taxed– even if less than $50. (Luxury rate, if item is over $1,000)
For more information on the total Sales Tax changes coming to Connecticut in July, see the budget bill (Senate Bill 1239). It’s long, but start around section 88 – a little less than 2/3 down for the sales tax pieces (some great bed-time reading). http://www.cga.ct.gov/2011/TOB/S/2011SB-01239-R00-SB.htm
Otherwise, for a more concise snapshot, KPMG summarizes it well: http://www.us.kpmg.com/microsite/taxnewsflash/2011/May/11224.html

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing
the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or
2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
