Other parties include the other venders/tenants of spaces in the shop and the shop owner. Tenants pay a flat monthly rental amount plus 15% of a sale. Shop owner is contractually obligated to collect sales tax upon sale of an item in the store and then pay the sales tax to WA DOR. Problem is that the shop owner has terrible accounting skills and systems (and a known gambling problem) and flatly refuses to give venders/tenants copies of daily sale receipts or cash register documents. Written lease does not require shop owner to provide the information. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have spoken to DOR and they said that they will only pursue the party who is contractually obligated to collect and pay the sales tax (just in case it gets gambled away.) But, my client still wants to know the daily sales in the shop, or at least, the client’s daily sales. Any creative ideas out there? Maybe an RCW or WAC requiring the shop owner to provide the information in a consignment or similar situation? <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
