You may not have realized it yesterday, however today is not just the start of a new month, but the day the sales tax increase goes into effect in CT. If your business uses a shopping cart or another method (even PayPal and Google Shopping Cart) to collect payments on your website you will need to update the amount of sales tax you collect.
Sales tax has been 6% for CT businesses. The increase moves CT sales tax to 6.35%. The DRS has a nifty form online if you want to calculate sales tax. https://www.ct.gov/drs/lib/drs/forms/2011forms/salesandusetax/or-149.pdf But if you are collecting payments online, the brilliance of your shopping cart makes this calculation for you.
To update your shopping cart for the new tax or to set up a payment method on your website, Design to Spec can help!
