                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

TAX LEVIED (§ 58.1-1402)

There is hereby levied and imposed, in addition to all other taxes and fees of
every kind now imposed by law, a tax upon the sale of every watercraft sold in
this Commonwealth, upon the use in this Commonwealth of any watercraft and upon
the gross receipts from the lease, charter or other use of any watercraft by a
registered dealer in this Commonwealth. The amount of the tax to be collected
shall be determined by applying the following rate against the sale price,
market value or gross receipts:

1. Two percent of the sale price of each watercraft sold in the Commonwealth.

2. Two percent of the sale price of each watercraft not sold in the Commonwealth
but required to be titled in the Commonwealth. However, if the watercraft is
first required to be titled in the Commonwealth six months or more after its
acquisition, the tax shall be two percent of the market value of such watercraft
at the time it is titled.

3. Two percent of the gross receipts from the lease, charter or other use of any
watercraft by a registered dealer.
			The maximum tax levied under subdivisions 1 and 2 of this section shall be
$2,000. A transaction taxed under subdivision 1 shall not be taxed under
subdivision 2 or 3, nor shall the same transaction be taxed more than once under
either subdivision 1, 2 or 3. Use of any watercraft by a registered dealer
resulting in taxation under subdivision 3 shall not exempt any subsequent sale
or use of such watercraft from being taxed under subdivision 1 or 2 if
applicable.
