The Finance Committee of the CT General Assembly has voted to re-impose the sales tax on carwashes at 6% starting in July 2010. This anti-business tax is bad for the economy and bad for our industry. The Committee is attempting to raise revenue by re-applying the sales tax to carwash services. This would mean not only would you be required to add on 6% to your current fee, but it will present a logistical recordkeeping nightmare.
We need your help to ensure that this proposal never becomes law.
Here’s what you can do to help:
1. Call your State Representative and State Senator today. (Their names and phone numbers are an attached document to this article). Using these message points, urge them NOT to support the new carwash tax.
2. Send your State Representative and State Senator an e-mail voicing your opposition to a carwash sales tax. Sample material is in a document attached to this article for you use in your email.
3. Please report back to us once you have made contact and tell us what their response was via email or 800/287-6604.
4. Be prepared for more information from the CCA Board of Directors about a petition drive, and E-Web site where consumers can voice their opinion on the proposed tax and other developments that will encourage customer involvement.
We can’t win this fight without your help.
And it is a fight we can, and need to, win!
