Virginia Sales Tax: Rates, Nexus, Exemptions, and Filing Requirements for Businesses

  • Virginia state sales tax rate is 4.3%, with additional local taxes possible, resulting in varying combined rates by jurisdiction.
  • Sales tax applies to tangible personal property and certain services; nexus is established by physical or economic presence (over $100,000 in sales or 200+ transactions).
  • Exemptions include most services, residential heating fuels, certain drugs, agricultural items, newspapers, and sales to qualified nonprofits, churches, and government.
  • Exempt entities must provide a valid exemption certificate (Form ST-12) to claim exemption.
  • Sales tax returns and payments are generally due monthly, but frequency may vary based on business activity.
