A seller selected as a participant may be relieved of other sales and use tax exemption documentation requirements provided by law as covered by the project.

Effective date — 2010 c 106: See note following RCW 35.102.145 .

Findings — 2001 c 116: "The legislature finds that current sales and use tax exemption documentation requirements are often confusing and burdensome for retailers, taxpayers, and the state. Additionally, the legislature notes the national efforts under way to simplify and streamline the sales and use tax, and that those efforts include a new system for retailers to use in processing sales and use tax exemptions. The legislature further finds that it would be beneficial to the state and its residents to allow for the simplification of sales and use tax exemption requirements." [ 2001 c 116 s 1 .]
