RICHMOND — A bill by Del. Ben Cline, R-Rockbridge County, that could remove a tax shelter enjoyed by some boat and RV own-ers passed a key test Tuesday.
The Senate Finance Committee approved Cline’s HB 2289, which would require owners of self-storage lots to tell their local commissioner of revenue the names of out-of-state residents who park vehicles in the outdoor areas of storage lots.
“People are coming from out of state and storing their boats and campers on premises inside fenced areas, evading the commissioner of revenue’s ability to get in there and tax them,” Cline told the committee.
A similar bill by Sen. Ryan McDougle, R-Mechanicsville, already has been approved by the Senate. It is SB 896.
