Create new business tax category for wholesale companies with lower rates

Wholesale Business TaxGovernanceOrdinance

In Plain English

Richmond currently taxes wholesale businesses at the same rate as retailers. The city received voter approval in 2020 to tax businesses based on revenue instead of employee count, but the law missed wholesale companies. If approved, wholesale businesses pay lower rates than other companies, reducing city revenue by $10,000 annually.
