Due to the spate of new tax laws and tax increases, the Washington state Dept. of Revenue is conducting a series of stakeholder meetings to gather input in order to write new regulations implementing these changes. Just about every business and industry is affected by these new taxes. Of particular interest to the technology sector are the new "economic nexus" and the "tax avoidance" statutes. Reseller permits and the new apportionment method will also impact technology companies.
Here is the link to the DOR web page on economic nexus: http://www.dor.wa.gov/content/findtaxesandrates/bandotax/economicnexus.aspx
