SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Local license tax; methodology for deducting certain gross receipts. Requires the Department of Taxation to promulgate regulations that clarify the appropriate methodology for determining deductible gross receipts attributable to business conducted in another state or a foreign country. The bill requires the regulations to be based on previous Rulings of the Tax Commissioner and the decision of the Supreme Court of Virginia in The Nielsen Company, LLC v. County Board of Arlington County, 289 Va. 79 (2015). In that decision, the Court endorsed the Tax Commissioner's ruling to require manual accounting but to allow payroll apportionment in the event that manual accounting is impossible to use in order to calculate the deduction.
