Where, before the expiration of the time prescribed for the assessment of any license tax imposed pursuant to this article, both the assessing official and the taxpayer have consented in writing to its assessment after such time, the tax may be assessed at any time prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon. The period so agreed upon may be extended by subsequent agreements in writing made before the expiration of the period previously agreed upon.

Notwithstanding Code of Virginia, § 58.1-3903, the assessing official shall assess the local license tax omitted because of fraud or failure to apply for a license for the current license year and the six preceding license years.

(c)

The period for collecting any local license tax shall not expire prior to the period specified in Code of Virginia, § 58.1-3940, two years after the date of assessment if the period for assessment has been extended pursuant to this subsection, two years after the final determination of an appeal for which collection has been stayed pursuant to section 14-36(b) or (d), or two years after the final decision in a court application pursuant to Code of Virginia, § 58.1-3984 or a similar law for which collection has been stayed, whichever is later.

(d)

In accordance with 1950 Code of Virginia, § 58.1-3700, as amended, no business license shall be issued until the applicant has produced satisfactory evidence that all delinquent business license, personal property, and transient occupancy taxes owed by the business to the county have been paid, or the business has entered into a payment plan for the payment of such delinquent taxes and is not delinquent in making payments under such plan. If a business is issued a business license after it has entered into a payment plan, and the business defaults under such payment plan, a new business license shall not be issued in subsequent years until all properly assessed delinquent taxes owed by the business to the county have been paid in full.
