Fairfax County's Business Professional and Occupational License tax classifies businesses by gross receipts under VA Code Section 58.1-3700, with rates varying by activity such as retail, services, contracting, or professional work.
Under VA Code Section 58.1-3700 and Fairfax County Code Title 4, every business operating in the county must obtain a BPOL each year and pay a tax based on prior-year gross receipts and activity classification. Rate schedules differ for retail merchants, repair and personal services, business and professional services, contractors, and wholesalers. Businesses with under $10,000 in receipts pay a flat fee, while those above pay percentage rates. The Department of Tax Administration audits classifications, and misclassification disputes go to the Commissioner of the Revenue and ultimately a state tax review.
Misclassification, underreporting receipts, or missing BPOL filings can trigger back taxes, penalties, and interest assessed by Fairfax County.
