Don’t hike ‘tech tax,’ says Prince William Chamber of Commerce

By Potomac Local News
Prince William Chamber Building at 9720 Capital Court in Manassas.

On behalf of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce and its 1,200+ Members, we strongly encourage you not to support advertising the “tech tax” from $1.35 to $1.60, or a massive 18% increase.

We have attracted and grown an industry that accounts for 94% of all investment in the County. Even as other states and localities in Virginia and elsewhere are seeking to grow their data center and technology-based business investment, Prince William County is seeking to increase the tax burden on a key industry driving our economy.
