Form MVR-CU
Motor Vehicle Repair Labor & Services (Repair Tax)
Consumer Use Tax Return
Who should file Form MVR-CU?
Generally, the Repair Tax is collected and remitted by businesses performing motor
vehicle repair services, even though the tax is imposed on the customer.
If you are a Provider of Repair Services and you collect the Repair Tax from your
customers, do NOT use the Form MVR-CU to submit the collected Repair Tax to the
Virginia Department of Taxation. Instead, use Form MVR-18, available for download in
the Business Forms Section of our website located at
However, if you purchased Repair Services in a member locality of a participating
authority and the applicable tax was not collected by the Provider who performed the
Repair Service, then you are required to remit the tax directly to TAX using Form
MVR-CU. No prior registration with TAX is required for taxpayers filing Form MVR-CU.
