CCH's Guidebook to Virginia Taxes is the perfect resource for concise and reliable information for practitioners working with state taxation in Virginia. Designed as a quick reference work, the Guidebook presents succinct discussions of Virginia state and local taxes, describing the general provisions of the respective tax laws and regulations and highlighting significant cases and administrative rulings. Published annually, this publication is useful to tax practitioners, in-state and multistate businesspersons, and those who are obligated to file Virginia returns or who are required to deal with Virginia taxes.

This authoritative Guidebook is the one source those involved with Virginia taxation need for timely and accurate answers in a convenient and accessible desktop format. It presents concise coverage of the taxes of major interest including:

• personal income tax
• corporate income tax
• bank franchise tax
• sales and use taxes

The Guidebook includes additional practical tips, pointers and examples to practitioners by William L.S. Rowe, a partner of the Richmond office of the law firm, Hunton & Williams. This valuable commentary helps practitioners further apply the complex principles of Virginia tax law to specific practice situations.

For the user's convenience in determining what is new in the Virginia tax law, a special Highlights of Tax Changes section is included to provide at-a-glance awareness of key legislative developments in the law. While this handbook focuses on the law applicable to the filing of income tax returns in 2011 for the 2010 tax year, legislative changes effective after 2010 are also noted with an indication of the effective date to avoid confusion and to assist in future tax planning. Helpful references to both the Virginia and related federal provisions are provided throughout for those who wish to more fully examine explanations and text of the applicable law. Also, detailed Tables of Contents, Law and Regulations Finding Lists, a Topical Index, and an organized presentation of the content combine to make pinpointing critical information quick and easy.
