Virginia Supreme Court ends tax exemption for Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
The Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals held that the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad surrendered its tax exemption by accepting charter amendments in 1902 after the 1902 constitution took effect. The decision allows the state to collect back taxes from 1903 to 1910 and imposes a 1 percent tax on gross revenues, with potential annual state proceeds of up to $40,000 plus broader taxation by counties and towns.
