HB 5056 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT ELIMINATING THE ADDITIONAL ONE PER CENT SALES AND USE TAXES IMPOSED ON MEALS SOLD BY AN EATING ESTABLISHMENT, CATERER OR GROCERY STORE.

HB 5056 eliminates a 1% sales tax specifically applied to meals sold by restaurants, caterers, and grocery stores. The bill amends tax law to remove this additional charge from prepared food purchases. It directly affects businesses in the food service and retail sectors that sell meals. This is a straightforward tax rate change with no other provisions or mechanisms described in the bill text.
