A menu of tax options includes increasing the state sales tax to 6.5 percent, up from the current 6.35 percent. Pushing the sales tax even higher to 6.9 percent would raise $237 million in the second year of the two-year budget.
The options also include raising the conveyance tax on real estate sales, imposing an excise tax on e-cigarettes, hiking the hotel and restaurant taxes, and restoring the sales tax on nonprescription drugs.
The possibilities include hiking the cigarette tax again by 25 cents to $4.60 per pack, which would give Connecticut the highest state cigarette tax in the nation. The tax was recently increased to $4.35 per pack, which tied Connecticut with New York, in the budget that was signed by Malloy on Halloween.
