Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger said she would not rule out implementing taxes on various services during a recent interview with ABC, stating such measures "should be discussed."

The Democratic governor indicated openness to considering taxes on services including gym memberships, digital subscriptions, and dog grooming services. Spanberger framed the potential tax measures as topics worthy of legislative discussion rather than firm policy proposals.

Service taxes have emerged as a revenue consideration for states seeking to diversify their tax bases beyond traditional sales taxes on goods. Many states currently exempt services from sales taxation, though some have explored expanding tax coverage to include various service sectors.

The comments came during a broader discussion about fiscal policy options facing Virginia. Spanberger did not provide specific details about potential tax rates or implementation timelines for any service tax proposals.
