[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those freaking out about Va taxes, are simply catastrophizing.   Unless you make more than 600,000 per year when the first new marginal tax rate begins or more than 1 million per year where the second new marginal rate kicks in, you will be largely unaffected by this.[/quote]

Not true. New taxes on services will affect everyone.[/quote]

I am already seeing this, I just noticed extra Fairfax meal tax on my order picking up acai bowl.  I looked through my history and this only appeared on my last 2 orders suddenly and quietly.   :?  There is a standard sales tax, and a new "fairfax county meal tax".  Will there be more? [/quote]

I’m a moderate who’s voted Republican recently and there’s so much bad info here on the tax stuff. Not sure how I’m the one correcting it but here we are.

The Fairfax meal tax has NOTHING to do with the new state legislature and/or Spanberger. It’s Fairfax saying we need more tax revenue because of (insert excuse — Trump if you’re a Dem, irresponsible fiscal spending if you’re an R).

The new taxes the state legislature DID want to pass - on income, investments, and services (Uber eats, dry cleaning, fitness, dog grooming, etc) - all died in committee and aren’t being pushed forward.[/quote]

It appears that you misread that person's post

She did not blame the state legislature for the Fairfax meals tax.

She explicitly stated it was a new Fairfax tax.

The last time anyone checked, Fairfax County is in Virginia, not Maryland.

Her comment is no different than if someone stated "Maryland has too many taxes.  Look at that new Montgomery County dog park tax" (or whatever ridiculous tax a government could come up with.)[/quote]

This. Thank you for explaining this.  The point I was trying to make is that VA is not immune from whatever little local taxes counties can enforce that MD residents or those trying to avoid MD are complaining about.  The entire region pretty much has similar problems when it comes to increased taxation without much improvement, school rezoning fears, traffic, cost of living, vagrancy and crime, etc.  [/quote]
