As used in this chapter: "Marketplace facilitator" means a person that contracts with a marketplace seller to facilitate, for consideration and regardless of whether such consideration is deducted as fees from transactions, the sale of such marketplace seller's products through a physical or electronic marketplace operated by such person.

Taxes on a $20,000 Personal Vehicle (First Year ofOwnership) Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax $830 Tangible PersonalPropertyTax* $808 Total $1,638 * Applying a rate of 4.04%, which is the average for the county of Arlington and the cities of Richmond, Roanoke, and Virginia Beach.
Tax on a Comparable Rental Vehicle* * Based on the average tax collected at four rental car companies (Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz) for airport and non-airportdailyrentalofastandardpassengercar in four localities(Arlington,Richmond,Roanoke,VirginiaBeach).
Peer-to-peer shared vehicles will remain subject totheMotor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax (special fund revenue) andtheTangible Personal Property Tax (localrevenue).Because they are subject to those other taxes, peer-to-peer shared vehicles will be taxed at a combined rate of 6% under the Motor Vehicle Rental Tax, rather than the 10% levied on most other rental vehicles.
Other Features of the Proposal • Although the definition of “peer-to-peer shared vehicle” excludes business-owned vehicles, the definition of “peer-to-peer vehicle sharing platform” is broad enough to include vehicles owned by businesses. • While business-owned vehicles may be rented via a peer-to-peer vehicle sharing platform, those rentals will not be taxed at the lower rates that apply to peer-to-peer sharedvehicles. • The person offering the peer-to-peer sharing platform will be responsible for collecting and remitting the Motor Vehicle Rental Tax. • All other administrative features of the Motor Vehicle Rental Tax will apply.
Other Issues: Business, Professional, and Occupational Licensing (BPOL)Tax • A tax levied by some localities on businesses and professionals within theirjurisdictions. • The amount of the tax is based on gross receipts, but rates vary by locality and according to the classification of thebusiness. • A locality that levies the Merchants’ Capital Tax cannot also levy the BPOLTax.
Other Issues: Personal Property TaxRelief • Partial relief from the Tangible Personal Property Tax is provided to owners of passenger cars, motorcycles, autocycles, and pickup and panel trucks that are “used for nonbusiness purposes,” meaning that “the preponderance of use is for other than business purposes.” (Va. Code §58.1-3523) • Relief takes the form of lower tax rates on thefirst$20,000 in assessed value of thevehicle. • Relief is funded by transfers from the general fund to localities.
Other Issues: Business, Professional, and Occupational Licensing (BPOL)Tax
