Is rent subject to sales tax?
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
