CT HB06414

Increases the Connecticut sales and use tax rate from 6% to 6.25% effective October 1, 2011, for sales occurring on or after that date.

Adjusts the sales tax bracket system to reflect the increased rate, with the "no tax" bracket changing from $0.00-$0.08 to $0.00-$0.07 and subsequent brackets adjusted proportionally.

Requires the Commissioner of Revenue Services to segregate 0.25% of all sales and use tax revenue and distribute it pro rata to regional councils of governments based on municipal population ratios.

Directs regional councils of governments to use returned tax revenue to promote regionalism initiatives, including regional economic development and cooperative programs and agreements.
