TITLE 23. TAXATION
DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION
Report of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Taxation conducted a small business impact review of 23VAC10-55, Virginia Corn Excise Tax, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Department of Taxation is publishing its report of findings dated August 14, 2019, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
As the rate of the tax is not clearly set out in statute, the regulation continues to be necessary to clarify the rate of the tax. The department has received no complaints or comments from the public concerning the regulation. The regulation is not complex. The regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with federal or state law or regulation. The regulation was last evaluated in 2015. The department is not aware of any technology, economic conditions, or other factors that have changed in the area affected by the regulation. Retaining the regulation clarifies the rate of the corn excise tax and has no economic impact on small businesses.
