- Washington State businesses with $240,000+ in tax liability or $10 million+ in taxable purchases annually can apply for a direct pay permit by submitting a letter of interest to the Department of Revenue.
- The application process includes verification, possible interviews, and a decision letter; denied applicants may petition for reconsideration.
- Direct pay permits are valid for five years, non-transferable, and allow businesses to claim retail sales tax deductions and report use tax when goods or services are received.
- Permits cannot be used in place of reseller permits or for certain services like telephone or amusement services.
- Businesses should understand all requirements and restrictions to use the permit correctly and benefit from improved tax visibility and record consolidation.
