Windfall Expected From Accelerated Income Tax Plan
Virginia tax officials expect a one time windfall near 50 million dollars from the accelerated income tax collection plan with more than 42 million already in by May 20 and several millions more awaiting processing. Some taxpayers deferred payments to September and may default by June 30. The plan, enacted in 1956, accelerates payments to fund a 62 million dollar capital outlay program.
