WAC: 458-20-121 04/26/10 WAC 458-20-121 provides tax reporting information for persons who sell heat and/or steam.  It also provides information on the use tax liability of persons that produce fuel used to produce heat or steam. WAC 458-20-134 discusses the taxability of manufacturers and extractors that are consumers of products or by-products that they themselves have manufactured or extracted.

The Department amended these rules to recognize provisions of Chapter 469, Laws of 2009 (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 6170).  These provisions provide a sales and use tax exemption for hog fuel sold or used to produce electricity, steam, heat, or biofuel.  WAC 458-20-134 was also amended to include language providing information regarding the “value of article used” in the case of prototypes.   RCW 82.12.010(2)(e). This rule did not previously recognize these provisions.
