WAC 235 Effect of rate changes on prior contracts and sales agreements.
SOURCE DOCUMENT DETER. NO DATE OF ISSUE DESCRIPTION
       
WAC: 458-20-235 03/01/10 The Department amended WAC 458-20-235 to:

Recognize provisions of RCW 82.08.064(3), which provides specific guidance for the effect of sales tax rate changes for persons performing retail services such as repairing property and constructing buildings.
Remove the last paragraph, which referred cash-basis taxpayers to WAC 458-20-199 for instructions on the taxpayer’s responsibility to make an “accounts receivable adjustment” when there is a change in tax rates.  This adjustment is no longer required in WAC 458-20-199.
Provide contact information for persons with questions on how they might be affected by tax rate changes.
Add subsection titles and numbers to provide the information in a more useful manner.
Editing changes were also made for clarity purposes, and do not involve taxability changes.
