Section 23VAC10-500-630 - Taxpayer's request for a written ruling

A taxpayer or authorized representative of a taxpayer may request a written ruling from the local assessing officer regarding the application of a local license tax to a specific set of facts. Any person requesting such a ruling must provide all the relevant facts for the situation and may present a rationale for the basis of an interpretation of the law most favorable to the taxpayer. Any misrepresentation or change in the applicable law or the factual situation as presented in the ruling request will invalidate any such ruling issued. A written ruling issued by the local assessing officer may be revoked or amended prospectively if:

(i) there is a change in the law, a court decision, or the BPOL Regulations (23VAC10-500) issued by the Department of Taxation upon which the ruling was based or

(ii) the assessor notifies the taxpayer of a change in the policy or interpretation upon which the ruling was based. However, any person who acts on a written ruling that later becomes invalid shall be deemed to have acted in good faith during the period in which such ruling was in effect.
