Modernizing the excise taxes on select services and nicotine products and requiring certain large businesses to make a one-time prepayment of state sales tax collection.

HB 2083 proposes to update Washington's tax code by expanding the retail sales tax to include select services and new nicotine products, and by requiring a one-time prepayment of state sales tax collection from certain large businesses. The bill specifically extends retail sales tax to computer-related services and removes exemptions for digital automated services. It also aims to apply existing taxes on tobacco products to new and emerging nicotine products that are currently exempt. The legislation states its intent to generate revenue for public schools, health care, and social services.
