Governor Glenn Youngkin plans to propose over 200 amendments to the state budget, aiming to eliminate the extension of sales tax to digital goods like streaming services. He seeks common ground with legislators, advocating against new taxes and expressing frustration over compromise while pursuing additional tax cuts. Youngkin emphasizes maintaining the current economic model and fiscal responsibility. Lawmakers reconvene today to address the proposed changes following last month’s budget expansion approval. The expansion aimed to close a “big tech tax loophole” by extending the sales tax base to cover digital goods, including business-to-business transactions for software applications, despite resistance from business organizations due to potential financial burdens.
