EXPEDITED RULES
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
[Filed April 30, 2019, 12:55 p.m.]
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: WAC 458-20-236 Baseball clubs and other sport organizations, is a rule that addresses the taxability of income received by sporting organizations for sponsoring games.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The department of revenue intends to repeal WAC 458-20-236 because there is no longer a statutory authority for the rule.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: In 2010, the legislature amended RCW
82.04.460 and enacted RCW
82.04.462 which resulted in a change to the apportionment method used by businesses engaged in apportionable activities and have nexus in Washington. As a result of these statutory changes, WAC 458-20-236 is no longer accurate or necessary.
Statute Authority for Adoption: Not applicable.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Department of revenue, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Leslie Mullin, 6400 Linderson Way S.W., Tumwater, WA, 360-534-1589; and Implementation and Enforcement: Randy Simmons, 6400 Linderson Way S.W., Tumwater, WA, 360-534-1605.
This notice meets the following criteria to use the expedited repeal process for these rules:
The statute on which the rule is based has been repealed and has not been replaced by another statute providing statutory authority for the rule.
The rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances.
Explanation of the Reason the Agency Believes the Expedited Rule-Making Process is Appropriate: WAC 458-20-236 is being repealed because the statute on which the rule is based was amended in 2010 and a new statute was enacted that same year, so the information in the rule is no longer accurate or necessary.
