This Ruling has been obsoleted by AN 94(3)
You have requested a ruling as to whether the Connecticut sales tax is applicable to washing and cleaning services performed on vehicles owned by your company, X Company.
The sales tax does not apply to vehicle washing and cleaning services because these services are not among the enumerated services subject to the sales tax as set forth in section 12-407(2)(i) of the Connecticut General Statutes and section 12-426-27.
