Vending machine sales; dealers under contract with nonprofit organizations

# A.

Registration requirements. A separate Certificate of Registration is required for each county and city in which vending machines are placed. Dealers holding multiple registrations may request permission to file a consolidated return at the time of application.

# B.

Computation of tax. Dealers engaged in the business of placing vending machines all of which are under contract to nonprofit organizations may deduct sales of $.10 or less from gross receipts and divide the remaining balance by 1.053 (1.06 in the Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia Regions) to determine the amount of taxable sales upon which the tax is due and payable. To qualify for this method of computing the tax, all machines of the vending machine dealer must be under contract to nonprofit organizations.
