Legislative Update From CBIA
You've heard about the desire of some in the legislature to impose a sales tax on delivery services (HB-5844); now we need to act. The tax affects deliveries of parts, small packages, documents, food and other items that have not yet been identified. Mike Riley of the Motor Transportation Association of Connecticut is leading a coalition in opposition to the new tax. If you are interested in joining the coalition, please email Mike Riley at cttruck@aol.com. Mike will add you to the group.
