The Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce will host representatives from the Washington State Department of Revenue on August 11

Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce(LCCC) - On August 11, the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce will welcome representatives from the Washington State Department of Revenue to its monthly luncheon. Representatives will discuss new regulations regarding streamlined sales tax and how it relates to sales tax collection.

Under former practices, retail sales tax was collected based on the location from which merchandise was shipped. As of July 1, Washington retailers delivering/shipping goods to customers in Washington must now collect sales tax based on the location where the customer receives the merchandise.

This new policy is particularly significant to businesses that utilize Internet sales.

Chamber luncheons are held the second Monday of every month at Campbell’s Resort from 12-1pm. Buffet-style lunch is available for $9/person. Please RSVP to the Chamber at 682-3503 or
