What is the sales tax in Connecticut?
Currently (2012) the Connecticut sales tax is now6.35%.
However, with the current economic climate broad changes are possible:
Currently prescription and non-prescription medicine, and non-prepared foods are exempt from sales tax. Previous exemptions for newspapers and clothing have been repealed.
Additional taxes are levied on sale of specific goods and services (e.g. tobacco, alcohol, gasoline, movie tickets, tanning salon visits) and are not referred to as 'sales tax' but rather as 'gas tax', 'tanning tax', etc. These hefty 'sin taxes' serve two purposes-- they raise large amounts of cash for the state, and simultaneously discourage use of unhealthy/immoral/unnecessary products. There has been much discussion this year of trying to limit rising gas prices by capping the gas tax at a maximum of X-cents-per-gallon, mathematically analogous to collecting for Social Security only up to a certain income level.
