Filing Reminders

Sales Tax returns and payments for the reporting period ending May 2015 are due June 20, 2015. When deadlines fall on a weekend or a legal holiday, you have until the next business day to submit a return or payment with no penalty.

Remember, if you file any of the returns below, you must file the return even if no tax is due (except for Business Consumer Use Tax, ST-7).
  • Retail Sales Tax return (ST-9) - Electronic filing and payment is required for Form ST-9
  • Out of State Dealer's Use Tax return (ST-8)
  • Communications Tax return (CT-75)
  • Digital Media Fee return (DM-1)
  • Business Consumer Use Tax return (ST-7)
  • Vending Machine Tax return (VM-2)
  • Public Facilities Tax return (PF-1)
  • Watercraft Sales and Use Tax return (WCT-2)
  • Aircraft Sales Tax return (AST-2)
  • Motor Vehicle Rental Tax Return (MVR-420)

Retail Sales Tax returns must be submitted electronically each period they are due, even if there is no tax due for that month. Returns and payments must be submitted electronically on or before the due date to be considered filed and paid on time. 
 

The Tax Commissioner can waive the requirement for a retailer to file and/or pay electronically if this causes undue hardship. To request a waiver, complete the Virginia Sales Tax Electronic Filing Waiver Request form.
 

Remember: It's very important that we maintain accurate information about your business. Visit the Online Services FAQ web page to find out which updates you can make using Business iFile.

 

Fee Charged for Previously Filed Tax Returns


Effective July 1, 2015, we will begin charging $5 for each copy of a previously filed tax return. You may request copies of returns up to five years back for individual income, corporation income and pass-through entity, or five tax periods back for sales and use and employer withholding.
 

Only the authorized taxpayer, power of attorney, court appointed representative or officer of a company may request copies. The PAR 101 Form does not authorize copies of tax returns.
 

Payment by check or money order must be enclosed with Form VA-1. Go to Copies of Tax Returns on our website for more information.
