Surplus Line Brokers' Reminder Message for New e-Alerts Subscribers

Submit your Taxable Year 2013 Insurance Premiums License Tax Quarterly Tax Reports to the Department. The Insurance Premiums License Tax Quarterly Tax Reports and payments are due on April 30, July 30, October 30, 2013, and January 30, 2014.

 

A surplus lines broker is required to submit a quarterly tax report and make payment if its annual Insurance Premiums License Tax liability can reasonably be expected to exceed $1,500 and, during the quarter, it derived direct gross premium income from policies for insured parties whose home state is Virginia.

 

A surplus lines broker is not required to file the quarterly tax report if its annual tax liability is not expected to exceed $1,500 or if it did not have a tax liability for the current period. No report is required for a quarter if there is a credit from a prior period or returned premiums within the same taxable year that equals or exceeds the amount of the tax liability for the current period.

 

Surplus lines brokers must use the Virginia Surplus Lines Brokers Quarterly Tax Report, Form 801, to submit their quarterly reports and make payments. This form provides instructions for calculating the amount of Insurance Premiums License Tax that a surplus lines broker should pay, as well as the due dates for each quarterly tax report payment. Surplus lines brokers may submit payments electronically via the Department's website at www.tax.virginia.gov.

 

For more information, visit the Insurance Premiums License Tax web page located on the Department's website at www.tax.virginia.gov/Insurance. 

 

Surplus Line Brokers' Payment Options

The Department provides a secure online option for submitting Quarterly Tax Reports and making estimated payments electronically through its eForms system. Submitting quarterly tax reports and making electronic payments is free, fast, and easy. Visit the Department's website at www.tax.virginia.gov for more information on reporting and making electronic payments.

 

If you are unable to submit your quarterly tax report and make payment electronically, Form 801, Virginia Surplus Lines Brokers Quarterly Tax Report, is available to download and print for paper submission.

 

If you send payments by mail, please review the mailing address prior to sending your estimated payments to ensure that you are using the Department's mailing address. Be especially careful if your computer system uses stored addresses to pre-fill payment vouchers.

 

Your Virginia Tax Account Number for the Insurance Premiums License Tax is very important. Always use the entire 15-character tax account number when submitting reports, making payments, or contacting the Department.

 

Surplus lines brokers utilizing service providers to prepare and/or submit tax reports and payments should notify their service providers of this information if they are not already aware.
