HB 5095 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT EXEMPTING PET GROOMING SERVICES FROM THE SALES AND USE TAXES.

HB 5095 would remove sales tax from pet grooming services, directly affecting pet groomers and pet owners who pay for these services. The bill amends the state tax code (chapter 219) to exempt pet grooming as a taxable service, meaning businesses would no longer collect sales tax on this specific service. This change would lower costs for customers seeking pet grooming and simplify tax compliance for service providers. The bill focuses solely on the tax treatment of pet grooming, with no other policy changes or broader implications outlined.
