Virginia state tax filings.

Who you deal with in Virginia

2 separate agencies, on 2 separate systems. Doing something with one does nothing to the others.

What Virginia does differently

• Closing everything and ending one tax type are different boxes. Tick Close a business in its entirety and every account goes. Tick End a Tax Type Liability and you then have to name the specific accounts in Section II on page 2. Businesses keeping a sales tax account open while ending payroll get this wrong in both directions.
• The form changed and the old names are everywhere. Starting with the April 2025 filing period the ST-1 replaced the ST-9, ST-8, ST-7, and ST-6, and it applies regardless of account type. Guidance, templates, and bookkeeping notes still refer to the ST-9 constantly.
• The same test as Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, and Illinois. $1,500 in a calendar quarter or one worker across 20 weeks. Five states now share it, which is close enough to a default that employers assume it applies everywhere. It does not: New York is liable at $300 and California at $100.
• Two categories, and you pick one at registration. In-state retailer or out-of-state dealer, and the answer is stamped into your account number as a 10 or a 12. Businesses that later open a Virginia warehouse or fulfillment center have changed category, and the account they hold no longer describes them.
