2009 House Bill 5527

Impose sales tax on services and lower rate to 5 percent

Introduced in the House

Oct. 20, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Mark Meadows (D-69)

To extend the state sales tax to services. The tax would be five percent of the “gross proceeds” paid by a consumer to a provider for a service. The bill would not tax business-to-business services. It would only become law if House Joint Resolution KK was approved by voters, which would authorize the tax and lower the state sales tax to 5 percent.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
