A.  This section shall apply to any dealer as defined by § 58.1-612, or any direct payment permit holder pursuant to § 58.1-624, with taxable sales or purchases of $12,000,000 or greater for the 12-month period beginning January 1 and ending December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, notwithstanding the provisions of §§ 58.1-615 and 58.1-616. Such dealer or direct payment permit holder shall be required to make a payment in each month for the 12-month period that begins in the month of June that immediately follows such calendar year and that ends in the month of May that immediately follows such month of June. The payment shall be made on or before the 20th day of the respective month.
Beginning with the month of June, the dealer or direct payment permit holder shall transmit to the Tax Commissioner a return showing the gross sales, gross proceeds, or cost price, as the case may be, arising from all transactions taxable under this chapter (i) for the first fifteen days of the month, on or before the 20th of the same month, and (ii) for the remaining days in the month, on or before the 20th day of the following month.  The dealer or direct payment permit holder shall remit the tax due pursuant to this chapter when transmitting such return.

D. In lieu of the penalties provided in § 58.1-635, except with respect to fraudulent returns, failure to make a timely payment or full payment of the sales and use tax liability as provided in subsection A shall subject the dealer or direct payment permit holder to a penalty of six percent of the amount of tax underpayment that should have been properly paid to the Tax Commissioner.

The payment required by this section shall become delinquent on the first day following the due date set forth in this section if not paid at the minimum amount required.

6. That the State Comptroller shall make no distribution of the taxes collected pursuant to § 58.1-615.1 of the Code of Virginia in accordance with §§ 58.1-605, 58.1-606, 58.1-638, and 58.1-638.1 of the Code of Virginia until the Tax Commissioner makes a written certification to the Comptroller certifying the sales and use tax revenues generated pursuant to § 58.1-615.1.  The Tax Commissioner shall certify the sales and use tax revenues generated as soon as practicable after the sales and use tax revenues have been paid into the state treasury in any month for the preceding month ."
