Which in-state businesses are impacted?

Of the 470,000 active taxpayers with the Department, there are over 200,000 retail businesses registered who collect and remit retail sales tax.

40,000 businesses are potentially affected by the change to destination-based sourcing (i.e. ? big box home furnishing stores, home improvement businesses, propane and heating oil businesses, etc.).

Of all retail transactions, approximately 12% are shipped or delivered.

Of these businesses, this revision only affects sales that are actually shipped by the seller to another jurisdiction (approximately 6%).

Impacted retailers will need to begin coding taxes to destination rather than origin.

There are over 350 local jurisdictions within WA.
