[quote=Anonymous][quote]Of course it does. You know what will happen if this passes? All of the service providers who can will move to VA.[/quote] Service taxes are generally defined as being applicable where the buyer of the service is located/where the service takes place. A plumber with an office in VA who services a MD residence would need to collect the MD taxes. The buyer would not get a pass because the plumber worked out of VA. It would probably exclude all medical (anything eligible for FSA) and utilities or government provided services. Its not a bad idea. Would you really think twice about getting a $50 hair cut because you had to pay $2.50 in taxes on it? Are you going to cancel your maid service because it is $105 rather than $100 a week? Doubtful. It would raise A LOT of revenue for the state and then the counties could take on an extra 1%. This could really help MOCO which is broke and in desperate need of more revenue. [/quote]
