TheWeekInCongress.com (TM) Week Ending June 15, 2006
H.R.57 To repeal certain sections of the Act of May 26, 1936, pertaining to the Virgin Islands.
A 1936 tax provision limits the Virgin Island government the authority to assess and collect real property taxes in that Territory. The provision was thought to have been repealed in 1954 but it was learned in a 2004 court case that it had not been repealed.
This bill repeals the prohibition and allows the government of the US Virgin Islands to assess and collect taxes from the population there.
