<br /> The Washington State Department of Revenue has issued special rules on the State
<br /> sales tax. Sections 1-07.2(1) through 1-07.2(4) are meant to clarify those rules. The
<br /> Contractor should contact the Washington State Department of Revenue for answers
<br /> to questions in this area. The City will not adjust its payment if the Contractor bases a
<br /> Bid on a misunderstood tax liability.
<br /> The Contractor shall include all Contractor-paid taxes in the unit bid prices or other I
<br /> contract amounts. In some cases, however, state retail sales tax will not be included.
<br /> Section 1-07.2(3) describes this exception.
<br /> The City will pay the retained percentage only if the Contractor has obtained from the I
<br /> Washington State Department of Revenue a certificate showing that all Contract-
<br /> related taxes have been paid (RCW 60.28.050). The City may deduct from its
