Section 390. Computation of rental taxes

The taxes and fees to be paid are computed as a flat 4.0% of the total gross proceeds from the rental in Virginia of all motor vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating of 26,000 pounds or less, plus a flat 4.0% of the total gross proceeds from the rental of all daily rental vehicles in Virginia, plus a flat 2.0% of the total gross proceeds from the rental of all daily rental vehicles in Virginia. The only adjustments permitted in the computation are as follows:

1. Proceeds from transactions which are exempt from the rental taxes and fees may be deducted from the gross proceeds on which the taxes and fees are computed; and

2. Bad debt accounts on rental transactions, if such accounts have been charged off as worthless for federal income tax purposes, may be deducted from the gross proceeds on which the taxes and fees are computed. However, any recovery of payment for bad debts previously charged off must be included as gross proceeds in the month for which payment is received.
