[WSBARP] More Excise Tax

[Craig Gourley]

Never heard of such a thing. How would you use one affidavit in multiple counties?? Makes no sense.

Subject: [WSBARP] More Excise Tax

I have a client "gifting" multiple properties and in multiple counties.  I was advised by DOR that I have to file one Excise Tax Affidavit. I was going to record each deed and REETA separately. I think the major point is that if they want to challenge the exemption, then a higher tax will be paid based upon the fact that the joint value will increase the tax due.

I have looked through the WAC and RCW and I did not fins such a requirement. Does anyone know if this is mandatory by law, as opposed to preference by DOR?
