FAQ
Washington's retail sales tax is made up of the state rate (6.5 percent) and the local sale tax rate. Local rates vary depending on the location. The sales tax rate for items delivered to the customer at the store location (over the counter sales) is based on the store location.
You must collect retail sales tax from all of your nonresident customers, unless the customer or sale qualifies for another exemption. See our list of common nonresident exemptions for more information and related documentation requirements.
Sales Tax Calculation To calculate the true sales revenue, we divide the total receipts (for the items that are subject to sales tax) by “1 + the sales tax rate”. If the sales tax rate is 6%, we divide the sales taxable receipts by 1.06. If the sales tax rate is 7.25%, divide the sales taxable receipts by 1.0725.
