Virginia has enacted economic nexus provisions for remote sellers and marketplace facilitators, effective July 1, 2019. A seller is deemed to have sufficient activity within Virginia to require registration if the seller, in the previous or current calendar year:
These collection requirements for remote sellers do not apply to retail sales transactions occurring before July 1, 2019. However, transactions occurring before July 1, 2019 may be included in the calculation of gross revenue or retail sales transactions towards the threshold, as the measurement is “previous or current calendar year.”
The Virginia Department of Taxation will develop guidelines to implement these provisions, including the creation of a waiver. (S.B. 1083, Laws 2019)
