Governor Youngkin Announces Tax Rebates for Virginia Taxpayers in September

Virginia’s Governor Glenn Youngkin has announced a significant tax relief initiative for residents. This announcement follows the state’s remarkable fiscal performance, yielding over $10 billion in surplus revenues over the past four years.
Overview of the Tax Rebate Program
The Commonwealth of Virginia aims to return a substantial portion of this surplus to its residents while maintaining funding for essential services. According to Secretary of Finance Stephen Cummings, it is vital to ensure that taxpayers benefit from this financial surplus.
Eligibility Criteria
- Taxpayers must have incurred a tax liability in 2024.
- Filing must be completed by November 3, 2025.
Key Dates and Process
Starting September 25th, 2025, individuals can verify their eligibility for the tax rebate through the Virginia tax website at tax.virginia.gov/rebate.
Eligible taxpayers who filed their state taxes before July 1, 2025, will receive their rebates by October 15, 2025. These rebates are expected to be delivered by the end of October.
Payment Methods
- Taxpayers who received their state refund via direct deposit can expect the rebate in the same account.
- Others will receive paper checks sent by mail.
Impact on Outstanding Debts
For taxpayers with outstanding debts to Virginia Tax or other local agencies, the Commonwealth will allocate part of the rebate to address those debts before issuing any remaining amount to the taxpayer. Individuals owing more than the rebate amount will receive a notification detailing how the funds were applied and contact information for the respective agency.
This initiative reflects Virginia’s commitment to responsible fiscal management and taxpayer welfare. Residents are encouraged to take action and ensure their participation in this beneficial program.
