Eligible taxpayers in Virginia will receive tax rebates this fall, according to an announcement from Governor Glenn Youngkin. Individual filers can expect up to $200, while joint filers may receive up to $400.
Governor Youngkin stated, “Virginia’s strong job growth, bolstered by business investment commitments of $140 billion has driven a total of $10 billion in surplus revenue and enabled a record $9 billion in tax relief. This fall’s tax rebate reflects a simple truth: it’s your money, not the government’s. We have made record investments supporting teachers and students, law enforcement, and Virginians facing behavioral health crises, while also lowering costs for individuals, families, veterans and small businesses.”
Secretary of Finance Stephen Cummings added, “As a result of strong fiscal management, Virginia has seen over $10 billion in surplus revenues in the past four years, it is our shared responsibility to ensure that the vast majority of these funds are returned to Virginians while providing record funding or key priorities. That’s exactly what we’re doing.”
To qualify for the rebate, taxpayers must have incurred state income tax liability in 2024 and filed their returns by November 3, 2025. Taxpayers can check their eligibility starting September 25 at https://tax.virginia.gov/rebate. Those who filed before July 1 will be sent rebates by October 15 and should receive them by the end of October.
Taxpayers who previously received state refunds through direct deposit will get their rebates deposited into the same bank account; others will receive paper checks by mail.
If a taxpayer owes money to Virginia Tax or another agency within the state or local government, any owed amounts will be deducted from their rebate before payment is issued. In cases where debt exceeds the rebate amount, affected individuals will receive notification explaining how their rebate was applied toward their outstanding obligations.
