In addition, to match the state’s sales and use tax, supporters want Virginian lawmakers to “increase the tax rate to 5.3%.” With the tax in place, they argue that cities would generate “more local tax revenue.” A basic subscription to Netflix would jump 40 cents to $7.99. If enforced, a premium monthly subscription to Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music Unlimited would jump to $10.49. In Virginia, the 5% tax currently applies to satellite radio, cable television, and traditional cell phone plans. According to the Daily Press, some cities, including Newport News, along with other legislative groups, have lobbied state lawmakers to “ level the playing field.” Currently, the tax doesn’t apply to “digital products delivered electronically.” Supporters, however, want the state to apply the Communications Sales and Use Tax to streaming platforms.
