弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格在最近一次采访中被问及相关可能性时，并未排除对健身房会员费、数字订阅服务以及宠物美容等服务征税的可能。
“我认为，只要合理且具备一定意义，所有想法都应加以讨论，”斯潘伯格在接受当地ABC附属电视台采访时说道。
“随着我们的经济在诸多方面发生变化，未来的收入来源该如何构建，这是一场值得开展的讨论。”
此番表态之际，斯潘伯格正试图为弗吉尼亚州探索新的收入来源保留空间，同时回击白宫的指控——后者将她描绘成一个热衷增税的民主党人。

“太可悲了！她正在增设如此多的税种：食品饮料税、数字服务税、公用事业税等等。人们正纷纷逃离这个州，而他们原本根本不会考虑离开！”特朗普在其Truth社交平台的帖子中说道。
“这里从一个繁荣强盛之地，变成了一个由完全不懂低税收和经济实力为何物的人治理的联邦州。”
这些批评源于弗吉尼亚州议会提出的几项法案，若获得通过，这些法案将把征税范围扩大至：仓储设施、心理咨询服务、干洗服务、车辆维修、网站设计、数据存储以及数字订阅存储服务。
这些法案最初由斯潘伯格的前任、州长格伦·杨金执政期间的议员提出，但在3月14日州议会会期结束前，始终未能在全体大会上进行投票。

值得注意的是，除了一项将最低工资逐步上调至每小时15美元（至2028年）的法案外，斯潘伯格尚未签署任何新的州级增税法案——她认为特朗普歪曲了这一记录。
“总统声称弗吉尼亚州即将推进的一系列税种，简直荒唐可笑，”斯潘伯格说道。

但斯潘伯格也指出，她可以重新考虑从不断变化的行业中筹集收入的方式，这些行业已经改变了税收计算逻辑。
“你过去会购买DVD，那时会缴纳销售税。但流媒体服务则不同。因此，我认识到开展这类对话是有价值的，”斯潘伯格以流媒体这一变化领域为例说道。

斯潘伯格表示，此类政策的最终决定权将取决于提案的具体措辞。
“我是否会签署某项法案，完全取决于法案的实际内容和具体条款，”斯潘伯格说道。

Spanberger won’t rule out taxes on gym memberships, streaming services: ‘Should be discussed’

‘Every idea, as long as it’s reasonable, should be discussed,’ the governor said during a recent interview

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger left the door open to imposing taxes on services like gym memberships, digital subscriptions and dog grooming when asked about the possibility during a recent interview.
“I think every idea, as long as it’s reasonable and makes some amount of sense, should be discussed,” Spanberger told a local ABC affiliate.
“I think there are worthy conversations to be had about what revenue generation looks like into the future as our economy changes in so many ways.”
The comment comes as Spanberger tries to leave the door open to exploring new sources of revenue for Virginia while also fending off accusations from the White House that have painted her as a tax-happy Democrat.

“So sad! She is adding so many taxes: a food and beverage tax, digital services tax, utilities tax and more. People are leaving that would never have even thought of doing so!” Trump said in a post to Truth Social.
“This went from a thriving and powerful place to a commonwealth run by a person who has no concept of low taxes and economic strength.”
Those criticisms stemmed from a handful of bills introduced in the Virginia state legislature that, if implemented, would extend taxes to: storage facilities, counseling, dry cleaning, vehicle repair, website design, data storage and digital subscription storage.
The bills, which were first introduced by lawmakers during the tenure of Spanberger’s predecessor, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, never reached the floor of the General Assembly for a vote before the end of the state’s legislative session on March 14.

Notably, apart from a bill that will raise the minimum wage incrementally to $15 an hour by 2028, Spanberger has yet to sign off on any new state-based increases — a record she believes Trump is misrepresenting.
“The array of taxes that the president asserts move forward in Virginia is sort of ludicrous,” Spanberger said.

But Spanberger also noted that she could revisit ways to raise revenue from shifting industries that have changed the tax calculus.
“You used to buy a DVD; there used to be sales tax. Streaming is different. So, I recognize there’s value in having these conversations,” Spanberger said, highlighting one such area of change.

Spanberger said that any decision along those lines would ultimately depend on the specific language of a proposal.
“Whether I would ever sign a bill is wholly dependent on what is actually in the bill and how it is outlined,” Spanberger said.
