Summary of Question
Should Fluvanna County enact an ordinance to levy a tax on food and beverages sold, for human consumption, by a restaurant, in an amount not to exceed 4% of the amount charged for such food and beverages as provided in Virginia Code Section 58.1-3833?
If this food and beverage tax is adopted and a maximum tax rate of four percent is imposed, then the total tax imposed on all prepared food and beverage shall be 9.3%, the total, expressed as a percentage, of all existing ad valorem taxes applicable to the transaction (5.3% sales tax), added to the four percent county food and beverage tax to be approved by the referendum.
