Do I have to pay washington state sales tax if I'm a montana resident??

Question

I live in Montana where there is no sales tax...I am looking into to purchasing a new boat in seattle wa...I will have the boat licenced in montana and I will be using the boat in Montana, but will I have to pay the sales tax in washington?

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

The simple answer is if you go there to buy it yes...if they ship it to you it is their problem.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

normally when we buy out of state (I live here too) if our purchase is over $50 we don't have to.  But I would call your local Clerk and Recorder Office and ask them to be sure.
