The Washington Department of Revenue has amended the definition of “contractor” in the application process and eligibility requirements for reseller permits. The amended definition now includes plumbing contractor activities. Based on the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 18.106.010, plumbing contractors are defined as “any person, corporate or otherwise, who engages in, or offers or advertises to engage in, any plumbing work covered by the provisions of this chapter by way of trade or business, or any person, corporate or otherwise, who employs anyone, or offers or advertises to employ anyone, to engage in any plumbing work as defined in this section.” Any person or business engaged in plumbing work as defined above will now be able to apply for a reseller permit as a contractor. (SB 6215, RCW 18.106.010, Amendment effective January 4, 2025)
