TAX BULLETIN 06-8
December 27, 2006
Individual Income Tax
On December 7, 2006, Virginia and Maryland signed a reciprocal agreement concerning individual income tax. This agreement supersedes a similar agreement dated August 24, 1992, that was effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1991.
Under the reciprocal agreement, Virginia residents who work in Maryland are exempt from Maryland income tax on compensation earned in Maryland. Maryland residents earning compensation in Virginia are similarly exempted from Virginia income tax. The 2006 agreement makes two changes that clarify the 1992 reciprocal agreement.
(i) Those who maintain a place of abode in the state for an aggregate of 183 days or more are considered residents of that state.
These changes are consistent with the way that Virginia has been administering the 1992 agreement with Maryland since its inception.
If you have additional questions, please contact the Department of Taxation at (804) 367-8031 for individuals or (804) 367-8037 for employers with questions about withholding.
