| Helping 41,000 Construction Contractors |
|
Berntson Porter helped prevent passage of a legislative bill in a form that would have prohibited construction contractors from making purchases exempt from sales tax. Now that a more favorable law has been passed, we are part of the Washington Department of Revenue's stakeholder group determining how to implement the new Reseller Permit system. We collaborated with The Association of General Contractors by co-presenting with speakers from the Department of Revenue at a series of sold-out seminars around the state to inform  contractors about the Reseller Permit requirements. Darcy Kooiker was recently quoted in the Puget Sound Business Journal about the effect of this law.
Result #1: By fighting for a more fair law for the construction industry, assisting the Department of Revenue to create the best possible implementation and educating people about the change, Berntson Porter helped 41,000 construction contractors operating in Washington make a smooth transition from resale certificates to Reseller Permits and can seamlessly continue to purchase materials and subcontractor services exempt from sales tax.
