The purpose of this bill is to create the Tax Revenue Act of 2013. The bill increases taxes on tobacco, beer, wine and liquor and provides for assessment of business machinery and equipment at salvage value. It establishes a special account for the increased revenue and provides that the first $1 million received from the increases be directed to the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to assist farmers with tobacco crop replacement programs. The bill also permits counties to make application for distribution of an amount equal to the 2012 revenue received by the county from the personal property tax on business machinery and equipment.
