Taxable Sales Data by Locality year 2008

Taxable sales information for all counties and cities in the Commonwealth of Virginia is based on all sales tax receipts received by the Department of Taxation. Taxable sales for a locality reflect payments for sales made during the current period, tax payments based on audit settlements for sales occurring in previous periods, and any transfers of revenue from one locality to another to correct errors in filing of tax returns. Deposit, refund, and bad check adjustments are not reflected in the taxable sales report.

The Department of Taxation releases taxable sales information for each quarter as well as a separate computation of taxable sales figures for the calendar year. Combining the quarterly reports will not yield a complete annual sales total.
