West Virginia mulls revenue from tax exemptions and corporate tax
Legislators estimate revenue from 40 to 90 million dollars depending on exemptions lifted. Public utilities are exempt, unlike many states. Businesses oppose removing exemptions, since essential items stay untaxed. A corporate net income tax died last year but remains a potential revenue source, with Sen Hans McCourt noting most states rely only lightly on such tax. He says West Virginia would face a similar modest contribution to the budget.
