He spoke at a Legislative Point of View Breakfast hosted by Bluefield and Princeton chambers.

Tax time brings filing changes for many Virginians
TAZEWELL Virginia residents face major changes on the 2000 Virginia income tax return form per a county tax official. If you owe extra taxes, the state filing deadline is May 1. Refunds have a three year filing limit, said Emma Hagg, Tazewell County Commissioner of Revenue. You don’t need an extension for refunds, but delaying a refund for three years is undesirable.

The report outlines new Virginia tax provisions. It expands credits for tax paid on gains from capital assets not tied to a business. It authorizes credits for political contributions up to 25 dollars per filer at fifty percent. It allows tobacco settlement payments to be deductible. It lets licensed teachers deduct twenty percent of unreimbursed tuition for required continuing education courses.
Tight 2001 2002 Budget Seen For Tazewell County
Tazewell County officials warn of a tight 2001 2002 budget due to courthouse cost overruns. The project now tops 16 million with a 100000 change order. A potential 25 percent jail cost reimbursement from the state may ease strain, as the board reorganizes January 16.
