| BC Residents Qualify for WA Tax Exemption
http://dor.wa.gov/docs/forms/excstx/..._quarterly.pdf
Picked this one off RFD. Probably a response to the HST to get BC'ers to come down and buy American. I think this can be both a blessing and a curse. Good, because we can save some money by going down, but bad because some people wont buy Canadian (BC) goods (which is kind of the point of the HST).
Thoughts?

(If that makes any sense)

^ I think you don't pay the taxes in WA but you're still required to pay for the canadian taxes when crossing the border, if the item you're bringing across is very $$

Any online store that has a local (as in the same state) presence is required to collect sales tax. This really only benefits retail (over the counter) sales and not so much for online sales. (i.e. it's great for those of us shopping at the outlets)

Previously, it would have been the sales tax of the county you purchased in (which was usually around the 8% area), plus the GST+PST (12%) so you'd be paying at least 20% of your item's value in taxes. I'm assuming when this goes into place, you could just show your BC drivers license to prove you're from BC, and they won't charge you the WA taxes.
I'm not too sure how they'll handle online sales shipped to a local (WA) address. I'm going to assume that they aren't going to give you an exemption for that since they have no way of validating your residency at the time of purchase.

Beginning July 1, citizens of British Columbia, Canada, will qualify for an exemption from Washington State retail sales tax. The exemption applies only to items purchased for use outside our state.
