RICHMOND, Va. -- Frustrations that have been simmering among Richmond restaurateurs over penalties and fees tied to city meals tax payments reached a boiling point in recent weeks that’s spilling over into the Virginia General Assembly.
Legislation proposed for this year’s assembly session is aimed at putting a stop to what several restaurant owners in Richmond say has been a problem for years: their monthly meals tax payments being applied to unknown late fees and interest charges that, over time and without notice from the city, in some cases snowballed to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars owed to the city.
