AN ACT EXEMPTING HEALTH AND ATHLETIC CLUB SERVICES FROM THE SALES AND USE TAXES.

HB 5055 would exempt health and athletic club services from state sales and use taxes. This bill directly affects health clubs, gyms, and athletic facilities by removing a tax they currently pay on membership and service fees. The key mechanism is amending Chapter 219 of the general statutes to explicitly exclude these services from taxable items. The change would reduce costs for these businesses and their members without altering existing tax rates for other goods or services.
