- Washington DOR is offering a temporary penalty relief program for businesses affected by tax changes under S.B. 5814, effective October 1, 2025.
- The program waives certain penalties for uncollected retail sales tax and unpaid use tax for reporting periods from October 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026, but tax and interest must still be paid.
- Applications for penalty relief must be submitted by September 30, 2027, through the DOR’s Voluntary Disclosure Application.
- Relief does not apply to evasion, negligence, or tax avoidance penalties, and specific procedures and deadlines must be followed to qualify.
- More information is available on the DOR’s ESSB 5814 Penalty Relief Program webpage.
