11 WTD 219	RETAIL SALES TAX -- USE TAX -- PREMIUMS.A "premium" is something offered free or at a reduced price as an inducement to buy.Premiums given away free of charge to potential customers for this purpose without the concomitant sale of something else are subject to sales/use tax. Accord: ETB 341.08.116.
26 WTD 91	RCW 82.04.280:B&O TAX - PRINTING AND PUBLISHING - ADVERTISING MATERIALS AND COUPONS.An assortment of separately printed advertisements and coupons printed on separate pieces of paper and inserted into an envelope cannot properly be described as a work or issue, and is therefore not a "publication."Because the collection of separate pieces of paper is not a "publication," it does not qualify as a "periodical or a magazine" for purposes of the printing and publishing B&O tax classification.
28 WTD 115	RULE 116, RULE 178; RCW 82.12.020: USE TAX – PREMIUMS – DIRECT BROADCAST SATELLITE PROGRAMMING – FREE EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLATION: Providers of direct broadcast satellite programming are not exempt from deferred sales tax/use tax on the free equipment and installations that they gave subscribers because the free equipment and installations are not tax exempt premiums.
