Virginia Retail Sales Tax – The Basics
When a business must register to collect Virginia sales tax, what's taxable, how to remit, and the often-overlooked obligation to self-remit use tax.
CPE training you can trust — self-study courses on Virginia Retail Sales & Use Tax, written by an instructor with 40+ years auditing and teaching the Commonwealth’s most-appealed tax.

Study online at your pace, practice with inline review questions, then prove it on a graded exam — and walk away with a certificate you can file for license renewal.
Rich, structured lessons you read in-app — no clunky PDF downloads. Inline review questions let you check yourself as you go.
Pass the final exam at 70% and instantly receive a downloadable, NASBA-style certificate with your CPE hours and field of study.
We focus where most non-compliance hides: the heavily-appealed areas of VA sales & use tax shaped by Commissioner rulings and court decisions.
Every legal point traces to a Virginia primary source — Title 58.1, 23VAC10-210, Rulings of the Tax Commissioner, and VA court decisions.
You have a full year from purchase to pass, with as many attempts as you need. Correct answers are revealed once you pass.
VA sales-tax interpretation shifts with each ruling and decision. Our courses are written to keep you current.
