Dear Washington state wholesalers , I was just reading through the RCW on excise tax and found this little nugget below (RCW 458-61A-104 para (1)(b)). Can anyone help me understand paragraph 1(b)? It seems like if I sign a contract with a seller for a price, say $100,000, and then assign the contract for $10,000 to another buyer, excise tax would be due for $110,000. Is that what this is saying? If so, what other ways to execute an assignment could avoid this tax? Thanks! Spencer (1) Purchasers.
