New Online Filing Service for Businesses

County Budget and Tax Rates

Arlington Commissioner of Revenue Ingrid Morroy has announced a new online tax filing program for businesses.  Customers can now file their business license and monthly meals tax returns online and pay at the same time - without the need to complete or submit any paperwork! To access accounts, business owners will enter their Federal Employer Identification or Social Security Number and their business account number. Once the return has been electronically submitted and the corresponding taxes have been paid, the system provides a confirmation for each process. To access the website, go to www.arlingtonva.us/cor.
