FYI - for those that titled or registered your vehicle in Northern VA in the past YR

[Apu Nahasapeemapetil]

If you are titling and registering your vehicle for the first time in Virginia in an NVTA locality and paid an NVTA fee equal to 1% of the vehicle sales price or NADA trade-in value, there is was a Supreme Court ruling stating that this is null and void because NVTA does not have the authority to collect taxes.

Also, the following taxes collected by NVTA are null -

•Congestion Relief Fee (Grantor’s Tax)
•Motor Vehicle Rental Tax
•Transient Occupancy Tax
•Safety Inspection Fee
•Sales and Use Tax on Auto Repairs
•Regional Registration Fee
•Initial Vehicle Registration Fee

It's about time someone put a stop too all of the monies that VA has been commecting lately. Though I'm sure an increase in something else will show up soon.
