§ 58.1-1817.1 Waiver of tax penalties for small businesses
As used in this section, “small business” means an independently owned and operated business that has been organized pursuant to Virginia law or maintains a principal place of business in Virginia and has 10 or fewer employees. Any penalties related to taxes administered by the Department shall be waived for a small business during its first two years of operation, provided that such small business enters into an agreement pursuant to § 58.1-1817. However, the Department shall not be required to waive the penalty imposed by § 58.1-1816 or any civil penalties for the failure to remit state sales or withholding taxes.
