# Registering for a Virginia sales tax permit

Virginia's state sales tax rate is 4.3%, local taxes come on top, and its remote seller threshold is $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions, measured over the previous or current calendar year. If your business has crossed it and needs a permit, we prepare and submit the Virginia registration through www.tax.virginia.gov/register-business-virginia for $99, plus any state fee at cost.

## The Virginia rule for out-of-state sellers

Virginia Tax: economic nexus with more than $100,000 in annual gross retail sales OR 200 or more transactions to Virginia customers in the previous or current calendar year. General rate is 5.3% (4.3% state plus 1% local); additional 0.7% regional rate in Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads and Central Virginia (6%); Historic Triangle 7% (per Form ST-50, for events on or after Oct. 1, 2020). Marketplace facilitators collect for marketplace sellers unless a waiver applies.

## After the permit is issued

Virginia Tax sets monthly or quarterly filing based on your tax liability. Returns are due on the 20th of the month after the filing period, even with no sales (quarterly: April 20, July 20, October 20 and January 20).

Virginia has a marketplace facilitator law, so sales through a marketplace that collects for you are handled by the marketplace.

Paperwork only: whether your sales count toward the threshold is a tax question for your preparer. State fees at cost.
