§ 58.1-1505. Exemptions.
Any aircraft sold to or used by (i) the United States or any of
the governmental agencies thereof, (ii) the Commonwealth of
Virginia or any political subdivision thereof, or (iii)
any airline operating in intrastate, interstate or foreign commerce as a
common carrier providing scheduled air service on a continuing basis to one
or more Virginia airports, or (iv) any nonprofit charitable organization
which is exempt from taxation under § 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue
Code and which is organized and operated exclusively for the purpose of
providing charitable, long-distance, advanced life-support, air ambulance
services for low-income medical patients in the Commonwealth shall be
exempt from the tax imposed by this chapter.
§ 58.1-2106. Exemptions from tax.
A. Each dealer, limited dealer, or jobber in motor fuels shall be exempt from the payment of any motor fuel taxes on such motor fuels:

The term "exclusive use by the United States or its departments, agencies and instrumentalities" shall be construed to specifically exclude the use of such motor fuel by any person, whether operating under contract with the United States or its departments, agencies and instrumentalities or not, if the original purchase by such person from a dealer would have rendered the dealer liable for the payment of motor fuel taxes under the laws of this Commonwealth.
B. No tax shall be levied or collected pursuant to this article on a motor fuel used for the operation of aircraft by any nonprofit charitable organization which is exempt from taxation under § 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and which is organized and operated exclusively for the purpose of providing charitable, long-distance, advanced life-support, air ambulance services for low-income medical patients in the Commonwealth.
