If businesses have to pay a BPOL tax it will have to be passed on to the consumer and that is not the best interests of our community

Our county is becoming an anti-business zone. It’s too easy to continually raise taxes, Stafford County needs to stop giving away corporate taxes and dumping the shortfall on our small businesses and citizens.

Not only is this another tax, but it's also an unfair tax and a business deterrent.

The BPOL tax is simply an unfair tax! Taxing on gross receipts can easily put many businesses out of business, or force them to move to a locality with a more fair tax system. Stafford has done a superior job of encouraging new businesses to move to the county. This will absolutely prevent further growth! The tax shortage is brought on by the demands of the school system, yet the county continues to allow endless apartments to be built which brings in more and more students.

I own a business in Stafford County and it’s already too expensive. Adding this is even worse. There’s no way I would recommend fellow business owners in other counties to open a location here if this passes.

We need actual small business investment here. This will make our town a giant strip mall full of chain stores and data centers.

This is the direct result of kicking the can down the road on capital plans and infrastructure. While these needs are real, the county must prioritize alternative commercial revenues—like incoming data center equipment taxes—rather than penalizing small businesses on gross receipts. If the Board pushes this through, taxpayers deserve full transparency and strict accountability to ensure every dollar directly fixes our roads, infrastructure, and schools.
It unfairly taxes gross not net sales.
absolutely no new taxes Regards
