Pro small business WV GOP delegates are about to raise taxes on small business owners.

That's the ticket!

HB 2933 will remove the exclusion from sales tax that accountants, lawyers and other professionals currently have. Obvi I'm biased, but this is terrible. Small businesses contract out tax professionals, bookkeepers, lawyers, etc and they just got a nice 5.5% tax increase this morning. But hey, at least I can carry a gun without a permit!

I didn't read the bill but I am assuming that is for all professional services rendered? I am wondering if it will include medical services? Just something else to increase healthcare costs.
