B&O tax not due for treaty fishing activities where business is wholly owner/operated by qualified Indian tribes.
 

Retail Sales Tax not due on services or tangible property for use in treaty fishing, no matter where delivery takes place.
 

Except that Tribal Housing Authorities are not subject to sales tax on or off the reservation.

NOT TAXABLE if:

  • Tangible property delivered in Indian country, or
  • Services provided in Indian country.

(Members and tribes SHOULD collect Retail Sales Tax and other taxes due from non-members.)

NON-MEMBER TAXABLE as usual Retail Sales Tax? Yes, it is due (see above). This is also subject to a balancing test.
 

B&O Tax? Depends on the balancing test. See WAC 458-20-192(7).
