WA SB5795

Reduces Washington's state sales tax rate from 6.5% to 6.0% on retail sales of tangible personal property, digital goods, services, and extended warranties, effective January 1, 2027

Amends RCW 82.08.020 to lower the base rate while maintaining existing additional taxes on retail car rentals (5.9%) and motor vehicle sales (0.3%)

Aims to address Washington's tax system, which the legislature identifies as the second most regressive in the nation, where low-income residents pay at least three times more in state and local taxes as a percentage of income than highest-income households

Applies the reduced rate to both sales tax and use tax (under chapter 82.12 RCW)
