S 1809 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act exempting residential security systems from sales tax

This bill proposes to exempt residential security systems from sales tax in Massachusetts. It directly affects homeowners who purchase security equipment for their primary residences by removing the sales tax burden on these items. The key provision amends state law to exclude sales of security system equipment from taxation, provided the systems are installed in a person's main home. This change would lower the upfront cost for residents installing such systems without altering the tax structure for other goods or commercial properties.
