ETA 2017.04.08 National Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement - Definition of "Tangible Personal Property"


     As a result of legislation in 2003, Washington's sales and use tax statutes were modified to implement many provisions of the national streamlined sales and use tax agreement (agreement). The legislation adopted several uniform definitions from the agreement, including a definition of "tangible personal property," which became effective July 1, 2004. ETA 2017 has been issued to explain the tax implications of the definition of tangible personal property regarding the taxability of steam and electricity for purposes of retail sales and use taxes, business and occupation (B&O) tax, and public utility tax.
