    Use Tax

    Tax
    Use tax is a tax on tangible personal property purchased out of state (or untaxed) but used within the state. In construction, use tax commonly applies when materials are purchased from out-of-state suppliers who did not collect sales tax. Washington State imposes use tax at the same rate as sales tax, and contractors are responsible for self-reporting it.
