TLDR

Pending bills in the Virginia state legislature could raise the state income tax rate from 5.75% to 13.8%, the highest in the nation. If passed, HB 979 would increase the tax rate to 8% for incomes over $600,000 and 10% for incomes over $1,000,000. Another bill, HB 378, would impose an additional 3.8% tax on income above $500,000. This could lead to wealthy individuals relocating to neighboring states with lower tax rates, potentially shrinking Virginia's tax base and harming its economy.
