Governor Kaine Signs Bill To Return Nvta Taxes And Fees
Governor Kaine Signs Bill To Return Nvta Taxes And Fees
March 27, 2008
Governor Timothy M. Kaine has signed House Bill 1578 which establishes procedures to return taxes and fees collected by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority. The Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the imposition of regional taxes and fees by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority was unconstitutional.
The seven taxes and fees will be returned as follows:
- The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will return the 1-percent initial vehicle registration fee and the $10 regional registration fee by mail beginning in early April. Guidelines for the return of the fees are on www.dmvNOW.com. Call DMV Direct at (866) 368-5463 to update your address for quick return of the fees or for additional information.
- The Clerks of the Circuit Courts will work with settlement agents to return the congestion relief fee (real estate grantor’s tax) to the affected settlement agents within 60 days. The settlement agent will in turn refund the individuals or entities that paid the congestion relief fee. The clerks will jointly develop uniform guidelines for the return of the fee within 60 days. Call your settlement agent or the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority at (703) 766-4650 for additional information.
- The 2-percent vehicle rental tax, 2-percent transient occupancy tax, $10 safety inspection fee and the 5-percent sales tax on motor vehicle repair will be sent to the Unclaimed Property Division of the Department of the Treasury. Citizens may request refunds from the Unclaimed Property Division. The department is working to finalize guidelines for refunding money. Go to the Department of Treasury at www.trs.virginia.gov for additional information, or call (804) 278-0187.
The bill also directs all collection agents to cease collection of the taxes and fees. Additional information on the return of taxes and fees collected can be found at www.hb3202.virginia.gov and www.thenovaauthority.org.
