ā€¢ Poll: Will Fairfax County's new meals tax affect your dining habits? (ffxnow.com) ā€” Herndon diners wonā€™t see Fairfax Countyā€™s new 4% meals tax on their restaurant bills, since the town already has its own separate levy. The countywide tax, which began Jan. 1, is expected to raise significant revenue and slightly reduce property taxes, while sparking debate over its impact on local restaurants and dining choices.
