BOSTON — The state sales tax is going up.

So is the meals tax, taxes on alcohol, satellite TV and possibly hotels.

Both the House and Senate yesterday delivered an on-time budget to Gov. Deval Patrick that hikes the state sales tax from 5 percent to 6.25 percent and lifts the exemption on beer, wine and spirits.

The budget makes deep cuts to almost all areas of government, from local aid and public safety to services for the disabled and mentally challenged, and relies heavily on new taxes to make up for dramatic drop in tax revenue over the past several months.

The meals tax, like the sales tax, will increase statewide to 6.25 percent and cities and towns will have the local option of tacking on another .75 percent to raise additional revenue for their own budgets.

The House voted overwhelmingly in favor of the spending plan, passing the budget on a 110-46 vote with more than two-dozen Democrats dissenting. The Senate followed suit with a 31-8 vote.

Nearly the entire Greater Lowell delegation in the House voted against this budget, turned off by the plethora of new taxes, including the sales tax on alcohol.

“I could not in good conscience vote for a budget balanced predominantly on an anti-border tax increase,” said Rep. Kevin Murphy, D-Lowell.

Rep. Thomas Golden, D-Lowell, said he felt more could have been done to find savings through reform before turning to taxes, and Rep. David Nangle, D-Lowell, said there was no way he could support an alcohol tax that will hurt small businesses in his district.

“For me, for us in particular in the Greater Lowell community, we might as well hand the keys over for all the mom and pop stores that sell alcohol,” Nangle said.

Reps. Colleen Garry, D-Dracut, William Greene, D-Billerica, James Miceli, D-Wilmington, Robert Hargraves, R-Groton, and Jim Arciero, D-Westford, also voted against the budget, while House Speaker Charles Murphy, D-Burlington, Rep. Cory Atkins, D-Concord, and Rep. Barry Finegold, D-Andover, voted “yes.”

Sen. Susan Fargo, D-Lincoln, was one of three Democrats to vote “no” in the Senate.

Patrick has 10 days to review and sign the spending plan or veto it. In a statement released immediately after the budget’s passage, Patrick again threatened to veto the sales tax unless the Legislature delivers on comprehensive ethics reform before July 1. A possible vote on new ethics rules could come as soon as next week.

“Legislative leaders should quickly agree to final ethics legislation that includes the strongest provisions from the House, the Senate and my original bill — including a gift ban and campaign finance reform. Without that, I will veto the sales tax,” Patrick said.

Murphy, the House Ways and Means chairman, called the final budget “honest” and “realistic” and said the maximum 15 percent reduction in local aid should be considered a “victory” given the financial times.

“I would suggest to you that in these times, that’s a win,” Murphy said.

Cities and towns will receive a total of $936 million in state assistance, with no community facing more than a 15-percent cut from last year. The Legislature also gave communities the authority at the local level to raise the meals tax by .75 percent to a high of 7 percent.

Satellite-television subscribers will see their bills increase 5 percent, while telecommunication companies will now have to pay property taxes on poles and wires in a what could be a windfall for many communities.

“It’s a very difficult budget, but I was happy we did raise some new revenue to restore core service,” said Sen. Jamie Eldridge, D-Acton, who voted in favor of the budget.

Cities and towns, which can already add a 4 percent surcharge to the state’s 5.7 percent hotels tax, will also be allowed to increase that surcharge to 6 percent.

“There are going to have to be sacrifices at all levels to get through this crisis,” said Sen. Steve Panagiotakos, a Lowell Democrat and chairman of Senate Ways and Means, who supported the budget.

He said he was not bothered by the fact that his colleagues from Lowell in the House voted against the budget.

“I don’t like the alcohol tax either, quite frankly, but there was consensus in our caucus and was incumbent upon me to include it in our spending plan,” he said.

Though the budget raises nearly $850 million in new taxes, Panagiotakos pointed out that the Legislature also cuts more than $700 million, eliminated 800 earmarks and 50 line items, and reined in inflationary costs associated with MassHealth.

The final $27.4 billion budget is about 3 percent less than the $28.2 billion budget approved last year, and relies on $199 million form the state’s “rainy day” fund, leaving just $600 million left in reserves from more than $2 billion a year ago.

The budget also slashes funding to the controversial Quinn Bill from $52 million last year to $10 million this year. The Quinn Bill provides police officers with salary incentives to pursue higher education, and the cost is shared between the state and municipalities.

Cities and towns now may have to pick up the difference, depending on whether their union contracts requires the payment.

The budget also adopts House language that phases out the program and eliminates the perk for any new officers hired after July 1.
