                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

WITHHOLDING TABLES (§ 58.1-462)

The amount of tax to be withheld for each individual shall be based upon tables
to be prepared and distributed by the Tax Commissioner. The tables shall be
computed for the several permissible withholding periods and shall take account
of the number of exemptions allowed under the laws of the United States relating
to federal income taxes and the standard deduction as provided in § 58.1-461.
The amounts computed for withholding shall be such that the amount withheld for
any individual during his taxable year shall approximate in the aggregate as
closely as practicable the tax which is levied and imposed under this chapter
for that taxable year, upon his salary, wages or compensation for personal
services of any kind for the employer.
