§ 58.1-3734.1 Sales involving trade-ins

A. No locality shall assess omitted taxes against any motor vehicle dealer which calculated its gross receipts for license tax purposes by excluding the value of any vehicle accepted as a trade-in for periods of time prior to January 1, 1991, unless such locality enforced the requirement that motor vehicle dealers include the amount of a trade-in vehicle in gross receipts for periods prior to January 1, 1990.

B. Whenever a motor vehicle dealer accepts a trade-in as part of a sale of a motor vehicle, the dealer’s gross receipts for license tax purposes shall not include the amount of the trade-in.

History

This law was first created in 1990. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 670 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1990 “Acts” aren’t available online.

1990, c. 670.
