Here to Stay
Wednesday, December 4, 2024
The interesting journey of the Washington State Capital Gains Tax appears to have reached its final landing place. Washington state voters were presented with Initiative 2109 on November 5th with an opportunity to retain or repeal the new tax. In the end, they overwhelmingly decided to retain the tax. Absent a future voter initiative or legislative action to repeal the tax, it appears the final chapter in this short story has reached its conclusion. We have written several posts on this matter already (Post 1 and Post 2) and will do our best to keep you informed so that you may plan accordingly.
As an important reminder, we are not able to provide tax advice, and urge you to consult with your tax professional to address specific tax related matters.
Please reach out with any questions and we will do our best to address them.
