FY 1996:
|
|
Savings ($10,000) achieved through discontinuance of required
return mailing of Personal Property Tax update form from citizens if no
changes are needed.
|
| |
|
Initiated revision of BPOL thresholds to increase
regional uniformity and benefit small businesses.
|
| |
|
|
|
FY 1997:
|
|
Funding and 4.5 FTEs moved from Personal Property
Tax to Business Tax Division for administration of business tangible personal
property program.
|
| |
|
BPOL threshold and fee schedule changed as required by
State law.
|
| |
|
|
|
FY 1998:
|
|
Depreciation schedule for computer equipment used for
business tangible personal property tax calculation changed to reflect more
rapid depreciation.
|
| |
|
|
|
FY 1999:
|
|
The Virginia General Assembly enacted the Personal Property
Tax Relief Act of 1998, Code of Virginia Section 58.1-3523 et seq. Over a five year span, Virginia's car tax,
on the first $20,000 of value for qualifying vehicles, will be phased out for
cars, panel and pick-up trucks (under 7,501 pounds) and motorcycles. Vehicles qualifying for tax relief under
this program must be privately owned or leased by a natural person and used
for non-business purposes.
|
| |
|
|
|
FY 2001:
|
|
Added an Information Systems Analyst ($52,225,
1.0 FTE) position to develop, implement and maintain integrated systems
that support tax assessment programs.
|
|
|
|
A special depreciation schedule for calculating the
personal property tax is used for computer equipment owned by businesses in
the County. To arrive at a fair
market value for taxation purposes, this schedule uses a shorter term of
depreciation than is used for other business tangible personal property. Beginning in calendar year 2000, computer
equipment is valued at 65% the first year, 45% the second year, 30% the
third year, and 10% thereafter.
|
|
|
|
The FY 2001 adopted budget reflects the elimination
of Office of Technology and Information Services (OTIS) charges of $396,046
for data processing and personal computers as part of the transition of OTIS
from an internal service fund to a general fund Department of Technology
Services (DTS).
|
| |
|
Filing and renewal date for business license changed to
March 1 from January 31.
