How can you legally avoid Virginia’s car tax?
I don’t like the idea of paying tax on my car just for owning it. At the same time, I don’t want to break the law. Is there any way to legally avoid Virginia’s car tax?

car expenses
. That said, you can’t legally avoid paying car tax in Virginia.People have tried to avoid the car tax by registering their cars in different states or lying about their circumstances. However, doing so means you face fines of up to 25% of the initial tax rate with 5% interest each year it goes unpaid. Failing to pay the fine could eventually land you in jail!
