Take to the Skies

The Washington Department of Revenue has amended Wash. Admin. Code §  458-20-265 (Sales and use tax exemption—Airplane maintenance repair stations) effective February 24, 2024. The amendments incorporate changes made by L. 2023, H1318, which expands the sales and use tax exemption for payments made by an eligible maintenance repair operator for the construction of a new building and related machinery and equipment. The Department may not refund the state sales and use tax unless the purchaser reports at least 100 average employment positions to the Employment Security Department for the four consecutive calendar quarters, beginning with the first calendar quarter after the date the facility is issued an occupancy permit by the local permit issuing authority, with average annualized wages of $80,000.
