[WSBARP] real estate agent's business license

[Douglas W. Scott]

Client is real estate sales company.  They pay a B&O tax to the dept. of Revenue on the gross income prior to distributing commissions to the individual Relators.  The dept. of Licensing says that each individual agent does not need a separate business license to be properly licensed.  The dept. of Revenue tells me that if the agent is paid on a 1099, then they will need a business license.  How do other RE firms handle this?
