Is rent subject to sales tax?

Ton Ratana
Posted

A newbie got a question here, so thanks in advance for all answers.

I am curious if rent paid by tenant is subject to sales tax.  In other words, when a landlord collects rent, does he/she has to cut part of it for sales tax?  I live in Washington Seattle area if that matters.

Thanks,

Ton.

Nope. Can you imagine, an 8+% rent increase for sales tax?  Even in Seattle they haven't applied that yet. LOL
