OLYMPIA -- Washington will join 21 other states in an effort to encourage Internet and catalog companies to not only collect state sales taxes on purchases, but also send them on to the states where the products are delivered. On Saturday, the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board granted Washington's petition to become a member of the Streamlined Sales Tax Project.
More than 1,000 companies that sell products in multiple states have voluntarily agreed to begin collecting and distributing sales taxes to any state that agrees to become a member of the project.
Those companies can begin collecting sales tax from Washington customers as of July 1, though they are not required to until Washington becomes a full member of the program, effective July 1, 2008.
