Local accountant highlights the confusion of vehicle tax credit in West Virginia – WCHS

Charleston, W.VA (WCHS) – Governor Patrick Morrisi said he was looking to simplify the process of tax credit of state motor vehicles, which he believes is “administratively challenging”.

Morrisi said it was a challenge for those who want to get the loan and the state tax department.

“There was one tax that was created that creates many significant administrative difficulties and this is the tax of cars,” Morrisi said.

These difficulties arise from a process that began in January 2024, providing taxpayers to the conditions of taxpayers to request a loan for ownership taxes made on vehicles in the previous year.

“There are many people are looking for a car tax relief,” he said. “I think what we see now is that this is very challenging and that this is not the perfect way to provide people tax relief.”

He emphasized the fact that the tax department recently sent 750,000 letters for this loan with the cost of sending posting postage, adding up to 54 cents per piece.

“This is a significant sum of administrative costs. To return your money. When the government has to create administrative fabrications just to return its money, something is wrong,” he said.

Tom Davis of Davis and Davis Accounting said his clients were also confused for this loan.

“Everyone thought because they announced it last year that it was for payment of your 24 taxes. So everyone thought you should download it from your 24 tax returns, and hundreds of people asked me last year and really thought it They get, but it was for this year’s tax pay 24, “said Davis.

He said the simpler process would be beneficial to all countries.

“You had to pay on time and you could pay further, they wanted to actually pay before the second half time to get the full loan,” he said.

He said he thought the confusion of this loan could be avoided if more notice and information are provided.

“I had two people who no longer knew about it. They submitted the returns a while ago. I don’t think they had to publish the fact that you had to wait to receive this letter,” he said.

He said he soon did not see paper loans to go.

“Most of my clients are over 60 and many do not even have emails. So I don’t know how the bigger part of them could contact it,” he said.

Morrisi said he wanted to warn people to continue with the tax department if they had challenges.
