By Mr. McMurtry of Dedham, a petition (subject to Joint Rule 12) of Paul McMurtry and others relative to the waiver of interest accrued on meals taxes related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue. |
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
_______________
In the One Hundred and Ninety-First General Court
(2019-2020)
_______________
An Act relative to the waiver of accrued meals tax interest related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to provide forthwith for the waiver of certain accrued interest during the COVID-19 pandemic in the commonwealth, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Notwithstanding any general or special law or rule or regulation to the contrary, no interest shall accrue on the payment of any tax resulting from the sale of restaurant meals on which an excise tax is imposed pursuant to section 2 of chapter 64H of the General Laws or section 2 of the chapter 64L of the General Laws if the commissioner of revenue has taken action to waive, abate or suspend late file or late pay penalties pursuant to subsection (f) of section 33 of chapter 62C of the General Laws as a result of the 2019 novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, pandemic.
