I would like to take this opportunity to update you on your future in carwashing in the state of Connecticut. We are facing a sales tax issue now that could change the way you do business meaning that you may either have to charge more or pay the tax out of your own pocket if it is reinstated. Either way, it’s not too pleasant.
There is currently a very real possibility that the sales tax that has been taken off our self-serve and tunnels washes may be reinstated as a result of the terrible deficit the state faces. Your board and our legislative committee has been hard at work at the capitol, with our Lobbyist PJ Cimini, trying to get our story out to legislators and key people who can work on our behalf. It may only get more difficult, however. We may need to call on our membership to also support our efforts.
I ask you all to please join and support the efforts of the Connecticut Carwash Association (CCA). We are hard at work trying to keep this tax off the legislative agenda. But the CCA board cannot do it alone. We need participation in every pocket of the state. When we email or mail you information and ask for your help, please make the time to help us. It will mean a great deal to your bottom line and the state of carwashing in Connecticut.
Thank you!
Anthony Setaro
CCA President
