<br /> Th~ General Assembly of Virginia in the 1968 session, passed legislation to permit cities and counties
<br />to levy the use tax. This will be collected in the sane manner as the sales tax is now collected by the
<br />State. This will provide additional revenue and also orevent out-of-state dealers from having a comnetitive
<br />advantage over Virginia dealers. For the most part, the local use tax will be collected by out-of-state
<br />dealers from their Virginia=customers for payment to the State and the~State will distribute same to the
<br />City.
<br />
<br /> It is necessary that this resolution be adooted 60 days prior to it being effective. In no case can it
