Pay your business taxes

Most of the time, you’ll make a payment at the same time you file your return. If you need to make a return or tax account payment separately from filing your return, you have some options.    

Sign in to your online account

We’re undergoing a multi-year modernization of our online services platforms. During this transition period, you may have to use different systems depending on the tax you need to pay.  

  • To pay sales, withholding, digital media, vending machine, and tire recycling fee taxes, 
    use our new Online Services platform. If you don’t have an account, sign up here. You'll need your Federal Employer ID Number (FEIN), your 15-digit Virginia Tax account number, and information from your most recently filed Virginia tax return (if you've filed a return)
  • To pay any other business taxes you’re registered for, 
    log in to our older business online services account and make a Web Payment. If you don’t have an account, sign up here. You'll need your Federal Employer ID Number (FEIN), your 15-digit Virginia Tax account number, and information from your most recently filed Virginia tax return (if you've filed a return)
