 Legislative Priority Shared by All
  • Telecommunications Tax Restructuring


  • Support protecting the long-term financial interests of Virginia’s local governments and ensuring a modern telecommunications and information services tax policy that treats communications providers equitably, regardless of the delivery platform.  Local governments must be guaranteed—on a locality-by-locality basis—adequate and growing communications services tax revenues in exchange for the local right of entry and regulation, adequate local consumer protection and services, and efficient local public safety answering point operations (E-911 call centers).
