No New Taxes on Virginia Tourism!

January 23, 2013

They’re at it again.

Politicians just can’t help themselves from wanting more of your money to fund more government spending.

Help us fight against a new tax on tourists and small businesses, right here in Virginia.

Click here to tell your state representative and state senator you oppose any new service taxes in Virginia.

There is a bill in the state Senate, SB 767, that would seek to create a new tax on internet-based services.

Local governments in Virginia already collect taxes on hotel and travel purchases made online. This bill would expand the taxes to take even more from family budgets. This is related to other attempts by politicians to tax online sales. Simply put, this bill jeopardizes Virginia small businesses and citizens.

Simply put, these bills would tax online and brick-and-mortar travel agents, causing you to pay more when making hotel reservations.

Government is continuously finding new ways to tax us. It’s time to stand up and demand Virginia legislators lower the tax burden, not increase it.

Take action today by clicking here.

Virginia families visiting the beach this summer will pay more if they book their trip online under these bills. Small businesses booking hotel rooms or rental cars online will see their costs go up if we don’t stop these bills.

During difficult economic times government should be looking for ways to help families and small business succeed, not taking more of their hard-earned money in taxes.
