Virginia Ends Tax Exemptions for Confederate Groups

newsApr 14, 202645,008

Governor Abigail Spanberger signed a law on April 14, 2026, revoking state tax exemptions previously held by Confederate organizations. The statute strips Virginia tax-exempt status from Confederate heritage groups and related properties that had qualified under state law. The move follows a Democratic-led push to distance Virginia from its Confederate past and will require affected groups to begin paying state taxes and meet regular tax filing requirements.
