How to register for a sales tax permit in Virginia

Sidr Tax creates the sales tax account for you. However, this state requires that you have your own login and we access your account as a third-party.


Access your sales tax account with your Virginia Tax Online Service login


After Sidr Tax finishes your registration, we will provide you with your sales tax ID. You can access that information by going to the registration page and clicking on the details button.


Access your registration details


If you see the username and password, you can login to the Virginia Tax Online Service.

  • The account number is your FEIN. Your sales tax ID has this format: XX-XXXXXXXXXF-001. Your account number is the 9-digit number after the first dash (-), before the letter F.
