When any such motor vehicle, aircraft, snowmobile, farm tractor or such vessel traded in is subsequently sold to a consumer or user, the tax provided for in this chapter applies.
(5) If any service or article of tangible personal property has already been subjected to a sales or use tax by any other state or political subdivision thereof and payment made thereon in respect to its sale or use in an amount less than the tax imposed by this chapter, the provisions of this chapter shall apply, but at a rate measured by the difference, only, between the rate herein fixed and the rate by which the previous tax upon the sale or use was computed.

(B) Any person doing business with a nonresident contractor and making payments of the contract price to such nonresident contractor shall deduct and withhold from such payments an amount of five per cent of such payments, unless such nonresident contractor has furnished a certificate of compliance as described in subparagraph (E) of this subdivision. The amounts so required to be deducted and withheld shall be paid over to the commissioner by the last day of the month following the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the first payment to the nonresident contractor is made, and every calendar quarter thereafter. Each such payment to the commissioner shall be accompanied by a form prescribed by the commissioner. The amount required to be deducted and withheld from the nonresident contractor, when so deducted and withheld, shall be held to be a special fund in trust for the state. No nonresident contractor shall have any right of action against a person deducting and withholding under this subdivision with respect to any moneys deducted and withheld and paid over to the commissioner in compliance with or intended compliance with this subdivision.
(C) A nonresident contractor shall request, in writing, that the Commissioner of Revenue Services audit the records of such contractor for a project for which amounts were deducted and withheld from such contractor under subparagraph (B) of this subdivision. If such request is not made within three years after the date the final payment of such amounts was made to the commissioner, such contractor waives the right to request such audit and claim a refund of such amounts. The commissioner shall, after receipt of such request, conduct an audit and issue to the nonresident contractor a certificate of no tax due or a certificate of tax due from the nonresident contractor. Not later than ninety days after the issuance of a certificate of no tax due, the commissioner shall return to the nonresident contractor the amounts deducted and withheld from such contractor and paid over to the commissioner. Upon issuance of a certificate of taxes due, the commissioner may return to the nonresident contractor the amount by which the amounts deducted and withheld and paid over to the commissioner under subparagraph (B) of this subdivision exceed the amount of taxes set forth in the certificate, together with the interest and penalties then assessed.
(D) When a person doing business with the nonresident contractor pays over to the Commissioner of Revenue Services amounts deducted and withheld pursuant to subparagraph (B) of this subdivision, such person shall not be liable for any claim of the nonresident contractor for such amounts or for any claim of the commissioner for any taxes of the nonresident contractor arising from the activities of the nonresident contractor on the project for which the amounts were paid over. Such payment shall not relieve the person doing business with the nonresident contractor of such person's liability for use taxes due on purchases of services from such nonresident contractor.
(E) When a nonresident contractor enters into a contract with the state, said contractor shall provide the Labor Department with evidence demonstrating compliance with the provisions of chapters 567 and 568, the prevailing wage requirements of chapter 557 and any other provisions of the general statutes related to conditions of employment.
(F) Not later than one hundred twenty days after the commencement of the contract, or thirty days after the completion of the contract, whichever is earlier, a nonresident contractor may (i) furnish a guarantee bond in a sum equivalent to five per cent of the contract price, or (ii) deposit with the commissioner a cash bond in a sum equal to five per cent of the contract price, in lieu of the requirements contained in subparagraph (B) of this subdivision. The commissioner may accept such bond on such terms and conditions as the commissioner may require, and upon acceptance of such bond, shall issue a certificate of compliance to the contractor. The provisions of subparagraph (C) of this subdivision shall apply to such bond, upon completion of the contract, in the same manner as such provisions apply to amounts paid over under subparagraph (B) of this subdivision.
(G) Upon the furnishing of a certificate of compliance by the nonresident contractor to the person doing business with a nonresident contractor, such person shall not be liable for any claim of the commissioner for any taxes of the nonresident contractor arising from the activities of such contractor on the project for which the bond was provided. Such certificate of compliance shall not relieve the person doing business with the nonresident contractor of such person's liability for use taxes due on purchases of services from such nonresident contractor.
(H) If any person doing business with a nonresident contractor fails to deduct and withhold and pay over to the commissioner amounts under subparagraph (B) of this subdivision, or fails to obtain a certificate of compliance from the nonresident contractor pursuant to subparagraph (G) of this subdivision, such person shall be personally liable for payment of any taxes of the nonresident contractor arising from the activities of such contractor on the project for which such amounts or certificate were required.

The commissioner may at any time revoke such permit for violation of any provision of this section or for violation of any regulation pursuant thereto or upon the request of the applicant. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 26-85, the commissioner may issue a permit to any landowner or primary lessee of land owned by such landowner or the husband or wife or any lineal descendant of such landowner or lessee and to not more than three designated agents of such landowner or lessee to use a jacklight for the purpose of taking deer when it is shown, to the satisfaction of the commissioner, that such deer are causing damage which cannot be reduced during the daylight hours between sunrise and one-half hour after sunset on the land of such landowner. The commissioner may require notification as specified on such permit prior to its use. Any deer killed in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be the property of the owner of the land upon which the same has been killed, but shall not be sold, bartered, traded or offered for sale, and the person who kills any such deer shall tag and report each deer killed, as provided in section 26-86b.

For the purposes of this section, an attractant means any natural or artificial substance placed, exposed, deposited, distributed or scattered that is used to attract, entice or lure deer to a specific location including, but not limited to, salt, chemicals or minerals, including their residues or any natural or artificial food, hay, grain, fruit or nuts. The commissioner may authorize any municipality, homeowner association or nonprofit land-holding organization approved by the commissioner under the provisions of this section to take deer at any time, other than Sundays, or place using any method consistent with professional wildlife management principles when a severe nuisance or ecological damage can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the commissioner. Any such municipality, homeowner association or nonprofit land-holding organization shall submit to the commissioner, for the commissioner's review and approval, a plan that describes the extent and degree of the nuisance or ecological damage and the proposed methods of taking. Prior to the implementation of any such approved plan, the municipality, homeowner association or nonprofit land-holding organization shall provide notice of such plan to any abutting landowners of such place where the plan will be implemented. Such plan shall not authorize the use of a snare. No person shall hunt, pursue or kill deer being pursued by any dog, whether or not such dog is owned or controlled by such person, except that no person shall be guilty of a violation under this section when such a deer is struck by a motor vehicle operated by such person. No person shall use or allow any dog in such person's charge to hunt, pursue or kill deer. No permit shall be issued when in the opinion of the commissioner the public safety may be jeopardized.
Sec. 31. Section 52-568a of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2010):
Any person or any attorney who represents such person, who commences any civil action or complaint, in his own name or the name of others, against the owner or operator of a "pick or cut your own agricultural operation" (1) without probable cause, shall pay such owner or operator double damages, including, in the discretion of the court, costs and attorney's fees, or (2) without probable cause, and with a malicious intent unjustly to vex and trouble such owner or operator, shall pay such owner or operator treble damages including, in the discretion of the court, costs and attorney's fees. As used in this section, "pick or cut your own agricultural operation" means a farm [to whom the Department of Revenue Services has issued a farmer tax exemption permit under subdivision (63) of section 12-412] that allows any person to enter such farm for the purpose of agricultural harvesting, including the cutting of Christmas trees. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect or abrogate the provisions of section 52-568.
Sec. 32. Subdivisions (21), (22), (31), (40), (41), (43), (44), (50), (52), (53), (58), (63), (64), (65), (66), (71), (72), (74), (82), (83), (88), (89), (90), (91), (95), (102), (104), (108), (109), (110), (111), (113) and (117) of section 12-412 of the general statutes and sections 12-412c, 12-412i, 12-413b and 12-430a of the general statutes are repealed.

In addition to the revenue impact outlined below the Department of Revenue Services will incur primarily one-time costs of $500,000 to administer the tax changes. These costs are likely to be incurred in FY 10.
OLR SUMMARY:
This bill increases the income tax by:
1. adding four higher-income brackets to the tax and raising the rates on those brackets from 5% to between 6% and 7.95% and to a flat 7.95% for trusts and estates,
2. lowering income eligibility for the property tax credit against the tax by 25% (27% for single filers) for the 2009 tax year and 75% (76% for single filers) for tax year 2010 and after,
3. delaying scheduled income tax reductions for single filers by three years, and
4. prohibiting taxpayers from using the federal domestic production activity deduction when calculating state income tax.
The bill increases business taxes by:
1. imposing a 30% corporation tax surcharge for income years 2009, 2010, and 2011;
2. reducing the maximum amount by which companies can use tax credits to reduce their corporation or insurance premium tax liability from 70% to 65% for the 2009 income year and 50% for 2010 and after;
3. barring companies from using the federal domestic production activity deduction to reduce their corporation tax liability; and
4. eliminating corporation tax exemptions for (a) domestic international service corporations (DISCs) and (b) income other companies receive from such companies.
The bill also:
1. increases the cigarette tax from $2 to $2.50 per pack as of January 1, 2010;
2. imposes a 30% surcharge on estates of those who die during 2009, 2010, and 2011 that exceed $2 million and are subject to Connecticut estate tax;
3. suspends the sales tax free week for 2009 and 2010; and
4. as of July 1, 2010, eliminates many sales tax exemptions and extends the tax to charges for additional services.
The bill also makes technical and conforming changes.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Various. See below.
INCOME TAX
§ 16 – Rate Increase
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in General Fund revenue to the personal income tax of $1.226 billion in FY 10 and $825.9 million per year beginning in FY 11. The expected revenue gain for FY 10 is for 18 months (January 2009 through June 2010).
OLR Analysis
This bill increases income taxes for those with taxable incomes over $250,000 for joint filers, $132,500 for single filers, $200,000 for heads of household, and $125,000 for married people filing separately. It does so by adding four higher-income brackets and increasing the marginal tax rates for those brackets from a flat 5.0% to a range of 6.0% to 7.95%. It increases the flat tax rate for trusts and estates from 5.0% to 7.95%.
Table 1 shows tax rates and brackets under the current law and the bill. (Note: The tax rates shown apply only to the taxable income in the applicable bracket, not to all of a taxpayer's income.)

§ 20 – Property Tax Credit
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue gain to the personal income tax of $72.5 million in FY 10 and $324.0 million per year beginning in FY 11.
OLR Analysis
The bill lowers the income thresholds for phasing out the property tax credit against the income tax by 25% (27% for single filers) for the 2009 tax year and 75% (76% for single filers) for the 2010 tax year. It also makes the phase-out steps smaller so the credit phases out faster. These changes make fewer taxpayers eligible for the credit and reduce the maximum amounts taxpayers receive if their incomes exceed the lower phase-out thresholds. Table 2 shows the current and proposed credit phase-out thresholds for the two years, by filing status.

§§ 18 & 19 – Delay in Scheduled Income Tax Reductions for Single Filers
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue gain to the personal income tax of $23.9 million in FY 10, $30.2 million in FY 11, $36.4 million in FY 12, $30.8 million FY 13, $18.9 million in FY 14, and $6.3 million in FY 15.
OLR Analysis
The bill delays scheduled income tax reductions for single filers for three years. It delays scheduled increases in (1) their adjusted gross income (AGI) exempt from the tax and (2) income thresholds for reducing their personal exemptions and credits.
Personal Exemption. The maximum personal exemption for single filers for the 2008 tax year is $13,000. Under current law, the maximum exemption is scheduled to increase to $13,500 on January 1, 2009 and to rise in five more annual steps to $15,000 on January 1, 2012. The bill instead maintains the $13,000 personal exemption for three more years, through the 2011 tax year, delaying the increase to $13,500 and each subsequent increase by three years. It also delays scheduled increases in the exemption reduction thresholds to correspond, as shown in Table 3. (The income tax personal exemption is reduced by $1,000 for each $1,000 of AGI over a specified threshold, which varies according to filing status.)

Personal Credit. The bill also delays by three years scheduled increases in income ranges that allow single filers to qualify for personal credits against their income tax. Personal credits range from 1% to 75% of tax liability depending on AGI. Filers with AGIs above specified levels, which vary depending on filing status, do not qualify for any credit. Table 4 shows qualifying personal credit income ranges for single filers under current law and the bill.

CORPORATION TAX
§§ 3 & 7 – Surcharge
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue gain to the corporation tax of $160.0 million in FY 10, $106.0 million in FY 11, and $49.0 million in FY 12.
OLR Analysis
The bill imposes a 30% corporation tax surcharge for income years 2009, 2010, and 2011. Companies must calculate their surcharges based on their tax liability excluding any credits. The surcharge is due, payable, and collectible as part of each company's total tax for the year.
The surcharge applies to all companies that pay the tax, except those owing only the $250 minimum tax. It applies both to companies that pay the tax on their net income and those that pay on their capital base.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2009 and applicable to income years starting on or after January 1, 2009.
§§ 2, 4 & 6 – Exemptions for Domestic International Service Companies (DISCs)
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue gain to the corporation tax of $50 million per year beginning in FY 10.
OLR Analysis
The bill eliminates corporation tax exemptions for (1) companies that qualify under the federal tax code as domestic international service companies (DISCs) and (2) dividends that other companies receive from DISCs. It also requires companies to include receipts from DISCs in their total receipts for interstate apportionment purposes.
Under the federal tax code, companies that meet certain conditions (see BACKGROUND) and receive most of their income from qualified exports, can elect to be treated as interest charge DISCs (IC-DISCs) for federal tax purposes. Unlike most corporations, IC-DISCs are not generally subject to federal tax on their income. Instead, their shareholders pay taxes on the income when it is actually distributed, but federal law allows the taxes on those distributions to be deferred if the shareholders pay annual interest on the deferred amounts. The IRS establishes the annual interest rate based on the 12-month Treasury bill interest rate (Internal Revenue Code, §§ 992; 995(f)).
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2009 and applicable to income years starting on or after January 1, 2009.
§§ 1 & 5 – TAX CREDIT LIMITS – INSURANCE PREMIUM AND CORPORATION TAX
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue gain to the corporation tax and insurance premiums tax of $10.0 million in FY 10 and $40.0 million per year beginning in FY 11.
OLR Analysis
The bill reduces the maximum total value of tax credits that a company can take against its insurance premium or corporation tax liability for any income year from 70% of its liability without the credits to (1) 65% for the income year starting January 1, 2009 and (2) 50% for income years starting on or after January 1, 2010.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2009 and applicable to income years beginning on or after January 1, 2009.
§§ 4 & 17 – DECOUPLING FROM THE FEDERAL DOMESTIC PRODUCTION ACTIVITY DEDUCTION
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue gain to the corporation business tax of $27.5 million per year beginning in FY 10.
OLR Analysis
The bill bars companies and individuals from using the federal tax deduction for domestic production activity when determining their taxable income for the state corporation and income taxes, thus increasing their state tax liability.
Federal tax law allows corporations, individuals, and pass-through companies to deduct a percentage of qualifying income they earn from eligible production activities taking place wholly or mostly within the United States. Eligible production activity includes manufacturing, construction, engineering, energy production, computer software, films and videotape, and agricultural products processing. The percentage deduction is 6% for 2008 and 2009 and 9% for 2010 and after (Internal Revenue Code § 199).
The bill requires (1) corporations to exclude the domestic production activity deduction when calculating net income for purposes of the state corporation tax and (2) individuals to add back any such deduction included in their federal AGI when calculating Connecticut AGI for state income tax purposes.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2009. The corporation tax change applies to income years starting on or after January 1, 2009 and the income tax change applies to tax years starting on or after January 1, 2009.
§§ 8-10 – CIGARETTE TAX
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue gain of $36.0 million in FY 10 and $63.0 million per year beginning in FY 11. The estimates include the impact to: 1) the cigarette excise tax, 2) the sales and use tax, and 3) a one-time revenue gain of $4.4 million in FY 10 as a result of the floor tax.
OLR Analysis
The bill increases the cigarette tax by 50 cents, from $2 to $2.50 per pack of 20 (from 10 cents to 12.5 cents per cigarette), starting January 1, 2010.
The bill also imposes a 50-cent “floor tax” on each pack of cigarettes that dealers and distributors have in their inventories at the later of the close of business or 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2009. By March 15, 2010, each dealer and distributor must report to the Department of Revenue Services (DRS) the number of cigarettes in inventory as of that time and date and pay the inventory tax. If a dealer or distributor does not report by the due date, the DRS commissioner must file the report, estimating the number of cigarettes in the dealer's or distributor's inventory using any information the commissioner has or obtains.
Failure to file the report by the due date is grounds for DRS to revoke a dealer's or distributor's license, and willful failure to file subjects the dealer or distributor to a fine of up to $1,000, one year in prison, or both. A dealer or distributor who willfully files a false report can be fined up to $5,000, sentenced to one to five years in prison, or both. Late filers are also subject to the same interest and penalties as apply to other late cigarette tax payments.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2010. The increased rate applies to cigarette sales on or after that date.
§ 11 – ESTATE TAX SURCHARGE
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue gain to the estate and gift tax of $42.7 million in FY 10, $51.2 million in FY 11, and $53.3 million in FY 12.
OLR Analysis
The bill imposes a 30% surcharge on the estate tax of those who die during 2009, 2010, and 2011. The estate tax applies to taxable gifts and estates over $2 million. Under the bill, the surcharge must be added to the Connecticut estate tax due and is payable in the same manner as the underlying tax.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2009 and applicable to estates of those who die on or after January 1, 2009.
SALES TAX
§ 13 – Sales Tax Free Week
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue gain to the sales and use tax of $4.2 million in FY 10 and $4.4 million in FY 11.
OLR Analysis
The bill suspends the sales tax free week for the 2009 and 2010 calendar years. Under current law, clothing and footwear costing less than $300 is not subject to the state's 6% sales tax when purchased between the third Sunday in August and the following Saturday.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2009
§§ 12, 14, 15 & 21-32 – Sales Tax Exemptions Eliminated
OFA Fiscal Impact
The bill is anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue gain to the sales and use tax of approximately $80 to $120 million per year beginning in FY 11. The bill is also anticipated to result in a General Fund revenue loss to the real estate conveyance tax of approximately $1 to $3 million per year beginning in FY 11.
OLR Analysis
Starting July 1, 2010, the bill repeals many sales tax exemptions and extends the 6% sales tax to certain services that are currently exempt. Table 5 lists the eliminated exemptions, by category. Exemptions requiring additional explanation are described separately below. The bill also makes technical and conforming changes.
TABLE 5: SALES TAX EXEMPTIONS ELIMINATED
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2010 and applicable to sales occurring on or after that date.
§ 12 – Amusement and Recreation Services
The bill extends the sales tax to certain amusement and recreation services.
Under the bill, the sales tax applies to charges for activities included in major group 79 of the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual or sector 71 in the 1997 North American Industrial Classification Manual. These classifications cover such activities, events, and venues as performing arts; professional and other spectator sports; museums and historical sites; zoos and botanical gardens; the amusement, gambling, and recreation industries, including amusement and theme parks and arcades; golf and country clubs; marinas; skiing facilities; fitness and recreational sports centers; dance studios; and bowling alleys.
The bill continues to exempt charges for:
1. dancing lessons;
2. amusement and recreations services provided by (a) the federal, state, or local government or other state political subdivision; (b) a nonprofit charitable hospital, nursing home, rest home, or residential care home; or (c) a federally tax-exempt entity; or
3. such services offered in a facility owned or managed by the federal, state, or local government or other state political subdivision.
The latter two exemptions apply only if (1) the activity is an athletic or sporting activity organized exclusively for people under age 19 and (2) there are no additional charges, dues, or fees for participation that are subject to the state admissions or dues tax.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2010 and applicable to sales occurring on or after that date.
§ 15 – Trade-In Allowance for Licensed Motor Vehicle Dealers
The bill eliminates the sales tax trade-in allowance for licensed motor vehicle dealers. Under current law, when a dealer replaces a vehicle that was registered to the dealer and that is no longer in the dealer's possession, the sales tax applies only to the difference between the cost of the new vehicle and the wholesale value of the one being replaced. The bill makes the tax apply to the full price of the new vehicle.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2010 and applicable to sales occurring on or after that date.
§ 32 – Trade-In Allowance on Certain Construction Equipment or Machinery
The bill eliminates a trade-in allowance against the sales tax on new self-powered construction machinery or equipment. Under current law, the sales tax on sales of new machinery or equipment must be based on the difference between the amount allowed by the retailer as trade-in value on the old equipment and the price of new equipment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2010 and applicable to sales occurring on or after that date.
§ 32 – Mobile Manufactured Home Exemptions
The bill eliminates sales tax exemptions for (1) 30% of a manufacturer's sale price for a new mobile manufactured, modular, or prefabricated home and (2) resale of a modular home or mobile manufactured home located in mobile home parks or on a single-family lot. It also eliminates a requirement that subjects the resale of a mobile manufactured or modular home to the real estate conveyance tax.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2010 and applicable to sales occurring on or after that date.
§ 32 – Sales Tax Credit for Computer Equipment Provided to Higher Education Institutions
The bill eliminates a sales tax credit on computer equipment a qualifying company buys on or after July 1, 2000 to use in Connecticut for electronic commerce. A qualifying company is one that (1) is selected by the commissioner of higher education and (2) holds a direct pay sales tax permit.
The credit equals the resources the permit holder provides on or after July 1, 2000 to a Connecticut college or university for (1) designing, planning, building, or renovating buildings or classrooms; (2) acquiring computer equipment; or (3) acquiring property or licenses needed to operate computer programs used for student instruction in business studies related to electronic commerce or workforce development. In calculating the amount of the resources provided, a company can include cash and the value of property and services. The maximum credit is $2 million.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2010 and applicable to sales occurring on or after that date.
§§ 22 & 30 – Effects of Certain Conforming Changes
Property Tax Exemption for High Mileage Vehicles. The bill eliminates a municipal option to provide a property tax exemption for a high-mileage passenger vehicle covered by state sales tax exemption for such vehicles. The repeal takes effect on the same dates the sales tax exemption is scheduled to expire, i.e., on July 1, 2010.
Deer Damage Permit Application. By eliminating the farmer sales tax exemption permit, the bill also eliminates a provision allowing a person to whom such an exemption permit is issued and who leases land to sign an application for a Department of Environmental Protection permit to kill deer causing damage to crops on the land. Thus, under the bill, only the landowners may sign a deer damage permit application.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2010
