Fuels Tax - Electronic Filing

All licensees who are required to report activity in Virginia must electronically submit monthly fuel activity information.

Filing Options

There are three options for filing reports electronically:

Option 1: Direct Filing Via the Internet

This option was developed for filers who do not already have their own computer program to produce their reports and schedules. It will be most useful to persons who have 100 or less transactions a month.

As always, you will still be responsible for maintaining records of your transactions. When you are ready to file your report and schedules, you simply log onto internet, pull up the appropriate report/schedule, fill-in the information, and submit the report/schedule directly into Virginia's fuels tax system.

Complete and submit the Electronic/Internet Filing Application (FT510) to start the e-filing process for Option 1.

If you have already submitted your application to file using Option 1 and you have received your password, you can submit your fuel activity information online.

Option 2: Transmission of EDIX.12 Via Internet Services

This filing method was developed for persons who have or who are planning to develop a computer program to complete their reports and schedules.

You will still be required to maintain records of your fuel activities. When you are ready to file your report and schedules you simply transmit the data using DMV's report and schedule layout to a FTP service using a EDIX.12 format.

Complete and submit the Electronic/Internet Filing Application (FT510) to start the e-filing process for Option 2.

If you have already submitted your application to file using Option 2 and you have received your password, you can submit your fuel activity information online.

Option 3: Transmission of ASCII Flat-File Via Internet Services

Like option 2, persons who have or who are planning to develop a computer program to complete their reports and schedules would utilize this option. The only difference is the format used to transmit the data which is believed to be more user friendly.

Complete and submit the Electronic/Internet Filing Application (FT510) to start the e-filing process for Option 3.

If you have already submitted your application to file using Option 3 and you have received your password, you can submit your fuel activity information online.
