About this market

Market context

Connecticut Sales and Use Tax (SUT) is a transaction tax levied on the sale, lease, or rental of most goods and certain services within the state. Use tax applies when taxable items are purchased outside of Connecticut and brought into the state for use, storage, or consumption, and no sales tax was paid at the time of purchase.

Connecticut's statewide sales and use tax rate is 6.35%. Certain items, such as luxury goods exceeding a specific threshold or certain motor vehicles, are subject to higher rates. Key administrative responsibilities fall under the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (DRS), which oversees tax filings (typically monthly or quarterly) and compliance. Exemptions for certain goods and services, as well as specific purchasers, are also detailed in Connecticut statutes.
