PERMANENT RULES
Date of Adoption: April 14, 2003.
Purpose: WAC 458-20-231 explains the application of B&O tax on internal transfers of tangible personal property imposed by RCW 82.04.270. This tax, commonly referred to as the "internal distributions tax," applied to persons distributing of tangible personal property owned by them from a warehouse or other central location in this state to two or more of their own retail stores or outlets in this state.
This rule explains that this tax was repealed effective July 1, 1998, by chapter 329, Laws of 1998. Thus, the information contained in this rule is no longer necessary because the tax does not apply to any period within the statutory claim period for refunds and/or assessments.
