Reminder: Washington State Sales Tax for Classes

Washington State has decided that training services are now subject to sales taxes for in-state buyers. If you, or more precisely, the person who pays for classes is out-of-state, no tax will be charged. Taxes are not collected for classes being purchased by government or military personnel (with a valid .gov or .mil email address).
