Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to HB 1677 clarifies the services that are exempt from Virginia's sales and use tax. Notably, it specifies that the tax does not apply to labor charges for automotive repair and emergency roadside services, as well as for custom software programming. These changes aim to simplify the tax code and ensure that consumers are not taxed for essential services where labor is separately charged, helping to make these services more affordable.
