It’s called “business tangible personal property tax”, and it’s technically levied by the counties, not by the state

Loudoun’s page on this (chosen at random because I live here... and can see The Cloud’s Cloud from my house) is at

Which when you crunch the numbers works out more or less to the sales
tax they didn't pay when they bought that equipment online. Got it.

Did this tax change unpredictably, or am I still safe saying it's
deceitful to add a fee for it on top of the advertised and contracted
service price?
