S 1813 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to motor vehicle sales tax exemption for 100% disabled veterans

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow 100% disabled veterans to qualify for a sales tax exemption when purchasing a motor vehicle. Currently, the exemption applies to veterans with permanent service-connected disabilities, but this change specifically adds those with a 100% disability rating awarded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to the list of eligible individuals. The primary effect is to reduce the upfront cost of buying a car for veterans who have received the highest level of disability compensation from the federal government.
