The Washington State Senate convenes for session on April 10th, 2017, the 92nd Legislative Day.
Despite the Constitution of the State of Washington saying that a tax on income is unconstitutional. And despite the fact that the the legal community has determined that capital gains - defined as the profit earned on the sale of an asset (vehicles, property, shares of a business) - is in fact income. And despite all the many times (10) the voters of Washington State have rejected the idea of an income tax, the Legislature persists.
And what did your parents say about persistence? It pays off. Early Saturday evening 3/6/21, the Washington Sate Senate Democratic majority approved Senate Bill 5096, which would create a capital gains income tax in with the slimmest of margins - a vote of 25-24.
