Connecticut’s tax rules and purchase limits are written into CannAgent’s compliance engine from the rule text. Where a figure still waits on an answer from the DCP, it is flagged against the rule rather than guessed.
What we have written for Connecticut
Connecticut coverage is written against DCP rules: the bulletins, the excise on both sides of its 2026-10-01 base change — potency-tier per mg THC through 09-30, a flat 10.75% of gross receipts after, under Public Act 26-68 §264 — the 9.35% state stack with no local-option variance, the medical-vs-adult-use 3%-municipal split, and the social-equity license-class topology from the 2022-2023 conversion. We keep it current as the DCP moves, and where something isn’t built for CT yet we say so before you sign — today that means the audit engine will not build a Connecticut filing for October 2026 or later until the gross-receipts basis is settled, because the repeal also strikes the product-class definitions the per-mg basis depended on.
