Personal Property Tax Relief
In Virginia, personal property tax relief is provided for passenger cars, motorcycles, or pickup or panel trucks with passenger plates that have a registered gross weight of 10,000 pounds or less.
Individuals do not need to apply for personal property tax relief. If there is a “Y” in the personal use column, you are already receiving tax relief on the associated property item. If your item is listed with an “N” in the personal use column, and you feel the item does qualify according to the criteria and questions on the back of the statement (and outlined below), please contact the Commissioner of Revenue’s office. Motor homes, trailers, and farm use vehicles do not qualify for tax relief and are non-applicable; you will see these items listed as “NA.”
To qualify for tax relief, a vehicle must:
- Be owned by or leased by an individual under a contract requiring the individual to pay the personal property tax AND
- Be used less than 50% for business purposes
Does your vehicle qualify for tax relief?
- Is more than 50% of the mileage for the year used as a business expense for federal income tax purposes OR reimbursed by an employer?
- Is more than 50% of the depreciation associated with the vehicle deducted as a business expense for federal income tax purposes?
- Is the cost of the vehicle expensed pursuant to Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Service code?
- Is the vehicle leased by an individual and the leasing company pays the tax without reimbursement from the individual?
If you can answer YES to any of the previous questions, your vehicle is considered under Virginia code to have a business use and does NOT qualify for car tax relief.
The Commissioner of the Revenue’s office will gladly assist in filing this form. The Commissioner’s counter is open from 8am-5pm at the Government Center.
If you do not receive a personal property statement or if you have questions, please call the Commissioner of the Revenue's office at 540-245-5640.
