AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to sales and use taxes and transportation funding. Starting January 1, 2027, the general state sales and use tax rate will decrease from 4.3% to 4%, but this reduced rate will now apply to taxable services and digital personal property, which are defined in the bill. Additionally, the bill imposes new taxes and fees: an additional retail sales and use tax of 0.385% in counties and cities that are members of the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission, 0.615% in those embraced by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority but not members of the Commission, and 0.2% in counties and cities that are members of the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission. It also introduces a 20-cent retail delivery fee on each delivery made in certain transportation districts and a regional highway use fee on all vehicles subject to the existing highway use fee. These new taxes and fees are intended to fund transportation initiatives.
