§ 58.1-2700.1. Interstate motor carrier road tax
In accordance with the provisions of IFTA, as amended, the Department shall issue a license and vehicle identification markers to each carrier that operates qualified highway vehicles in the Commonwealth and at least one other jurisdiction participating in IFTA so as to report its road tax liabilities. The Department may issue vehicle identification markers to carriers that operate qualified highway vehicles in the Commonwealth and at least one other jurisdiction not participating in IFTA. Each application shall contain the name and address of the carrier, and such other information as may be required by the Department.
The Department shall issue to the motor carrier identification markers for each vehicle in the carrier's fleet that will be operated within the Commonwealth.
The identification markers issued to the vehicles of the IFTA-licensed carriers shall expire on December 31 of each year. All other identification markers issued to carriers shall expire on June 30 of each year. The identification markers may be renewed prior to expiration provided (i) the carrier's privilege to operate vehicles in the Commonwealth has not been revoked or canceled, (ii) all required tax reports have been filed, and (iii) all road taxes, penalties, and interest due have been paid.
The cost of the identification markers issued to each vehicle in the carrier's fleet shall be ten dollars per vehicle.
The Department may, by letter, telegram, or other electronic means, authorize a vehicle to be operated without identification markers for not more than ten days. Before sending such authorization, the Department shall collect from the carrier a fee of twenty dollars for each vehicle so operated.
