Huntington Occupation Tax And City Sales Tax On Hold
WEST VIRGINIA....
During a meeting in Charleston Friday, the Municipal Home Rule Board voted to table Huntington’s plan to implement a one percent occupation tax and a one percent city sales tax. Board members told city leaders they want assurances that the plan is constitutional, along with a feasibility study on the sales use tax.
City leaders say they plan to provide the information early next week, and the Board is expected to re-convene sometime soon after that. The plan was set to take effect October 1st, if the board had given its okay on Friday.
