I own a business in Stafford and I have four almost 20 years. This is an attack on what used to be a business friendly environment. That’s OK. If you wanna lose our business? This is the way to do it.

Don't tax the small business man. Let the big businesses pay their large shares..

1. We already are struggling to pat for everyday things. Raising prices by taxation will not help. 2. Businesses that barely break even are struggling after they pay their bills and tour gonna tax them on total revenue. That is not money earned. This is like taxing you twice on things. Like taxing you on your gross income after you already paid taxes. This is wrong. It will discourage businesses from coming to stafford.

The tax system in Stafford needs to be reviewed and overhauled. We have a serious issue with hemmhoraging income overall & a problem keeping businesses here already. If this tax was targeting costly businesses and lowering resident taxes, that might be one thing, but taxing all businesses drives them away. Perhaps consider lowering taxes on small businesses & businesses that make this county more pleasant, because right now we are high paying for an absolutely garbage place to live.

I own a small business and with the price of insurance, bookkeeping, scheduling apps, gas, and everything else going up is really cutting into the bottom line. We don't need another tax.

It’s hard enough to attract businesses to Stafford County. This will make it even less attractive!!!
