West Virginia的司库寻求召开一届特别会议,免除州税中的小费和加班费,以反映联邦的变化。 West Virginia’s treasurer seeks a special session to exempt tips and overtime from state taxes, mirroring federal changes.

西弗吉尼亚州财政部长拉里·帕克 （Larry Pack） 敦促州长帕特里克·莫里西 （Patrick Morrisey） 召开特别立法会议，以取消小费和加班费的州所得税，以反映联邦税收的变化。 West Virginia Treasurer Larry Pack is urging Governor Patrick Morrisey to call a special legislative session to eliminate state income taxes on tips and overtime, mirroring a federal tax change. 这项提议追溯至1月1日,将免除最高达12 500美元的小费和12 500美元加班费的国家税,并逐步停用较高收入者,在三年内可能节省工人多达7 500万美元。 The proposal, effective retroactively to January 1, would exempt up to $12,500 in tips and $12,500 in overtime from state taxation, with phaseouts for higher earners, potentially saving workers up to $75 million over three years. 众议院财政委员会中的两位主要政党领导人都支持这一举动,他们引用两党呼吁和与联邦政策一致的理由,尽管参议院领导人寻求更多细节。 Both major party leaders in the House Finance Committee support the move, citing bipartisan appeal and alignment with federal policy, though Senate leaders seek more details. 尽管预计2026财政年度的预算缺口为4亿美元,但2025年财政年度结束时,国家盈余为3.38亿美元,无适当资金超过1.61亿美元,这造成了考虑这一变化的强大财政状况。 Despite a projected $400 million budget gap for fiscal year 2026, the state ended fiscal year 2025 with a $338 million surplus and over $161 million in unappropriated funds, creating a strong fiscal position to consider the change.
