in the State Senate on May 1, 2013
by a vote of
8-21
. Purpose: This amendment attempted to add language to H.528 that raises taxes on satellite television services.
. Analysis: Those voting YES on this amendment supported a 3 percent excise tax on monthly satellite bills and exempts the first $30 of those bills. The tax is expected to take $1.3 million out of Vermonters’ pockets in its first year. After the first year, the excise tax will go up to 4 percent and the first $30 exemption goes away. The tax then rises again to 5 percent in year three.
