- Washington State now imposes sales tax on digital advertising, effective October 1, 2025.
- Ad platforms like Amazon and Meta are charging this tax for customers with Washington billing addresses, increasing ad costs.
- The tax rate can reach up to 10.4% in some Seattle districts, significantly impacting seller margins.
- The law affects sellers, agencies, and finance teams with Washington billing addresses; advertisers outside WA are not affected (yet).
- This move is part of a broader trend to tax digital services, and other states may follow Washington’s lead.
