rallispec Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I heard that the car tax discount in VA is going away, and that we'll have to pay the full tax again this year, or next. anyone else heard this, any truth behind it? If it's true, it's going to suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I havent heard much about it lately. Last time I heart the discount was stopping meaning that whatever it is at now is where it will stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they will reinstate it - VA is fiscally sound now and it would be bad PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tolerate where it's at right now (about 1/3rd, correct?) -- but if it went up all the way, i'd be screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I remember writing a check to Fairfax County in the fall of '98 for $1K for the tax on my old car. That's just outrageous for an annual thing, in addition to the 3% sales tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highlander Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 The taxes should be based on weight, not value as value is abstract. If the true meaning is to recover revenues for the wear-n-tear on the highways, then the heavier vehicles bear the biggest burden. Weight doesn't change. We already pay sales tax on the vehicle based upon sales price. Personal property tax values are never true value. I was assessed a value of $5000 on a 12 year old car with 220k miles. The Treasurer didn't think it was funny when I asked for a check in exchange for the title. Just my thoughts though.
