Background

Established by the Virginia General Assembly in 1950,[5] the agency is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and is overseen by the Virginia Secretary of Finance, with day-to-day operations led by a Tax Commissioner appointed by the Governor of Virginia.[6][7][8] The mission of the agency is to "serve the public by acting ethically and efficiently in our administration of Virginia’s tax laws."[1]
