I am self-employed having an office in DC. Because of COVID, I have used home office in 2021. If I deduct home office expense, am I subject to county business tax?

Virginia county requires BPOL tax if you have a business in the county.  I have an office in DC, but I needed to use my home office during 2021 because of COVID.  I can deduct home office expense, but I am wondering if that could trigger the BPOL tax because my office is in a VA county.  I have single member LLC so that I have paid VA state tax rather than DC because I live in VA.
