Washington House Bill 1901 Implication to Stakeholders
This is good news for employers in the state because the voluntary contribution program will continue. That means employers will have the option to buy down their tax rate when they are issued, thereby reducing their tax liability for the coming year. Plus, the surcharge has also been removed.
Recommended Action
Be aware of this when you receive the annual tax rate notice from Washington for calendar year 2025.
