Correcting Virginia merchants license fees for revenue gains
Economist Dr Biscoe outlined a plan to adjust Virginia merchants license fees to reduce regressivity and increase revenue. A 1 percent general sales tax would raise about 4.75 million, while 2 percent would yield 9.5 million, with cautions against combining sales tax with existing license and tobacco taxes. He proposed a compromise: raise larger retailer fees and lower small firm rates to balance revenue without unduly burdening retailers.
