- Virginia offers a one-time safe harbor for contractors who have omitted or inaccurately remitted retail sales and use taxes
- Starting from July 1, 2024, the Department of Taxation can use erroneously collected retail sales tax payments to offset a use tax assessment
- To qualify, contractors must show that the property for which sales tax was incorrectly collected is subject to a use tax assessment
- After receiving relief, contractors must pay sales tax to vendors or remit use tax directly to the Department for purchases of tangible personal property
- This policy aims to help contractors rectify tax remittance errors and ensure compliance with regulations
