Virginia Excise Tax Collections

Virginia Tourism Corporation obtains the travel-industry related local excise tax collections data directly from the Local Government Comparative Reports published on the Virginia Auditor of Public Accounts website. The report below includes Transient Occupancy Excise Tax Collections, Meals Excise Tax Collections, and Admissions Excise Tax Collections reported to the Auditor of Public Accounts by Virginia’s counties, independent cities, and incorporated towns.

Excise tax collections are typically reported in July-to-June fiscal years, not calendar years. Localities imposing a local transient occupancy excise tax may impose the tax on any or all classes of lodging such as hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, cabins, and campgrounds.
