[WSBARP] real estate agent's business license

[Bryce Dille]

That's the first I've heard of that did they refer to a specific WAC. There is no need they don't pay sales, B and 0 nor L and I nor employment security payments no need. Is it because they are independent contractor and a business license is one of factors the state looks at in making that determination. I'll contact my Clint's tomorrow to see what they do.

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?
