I don’t have a PSA form handy, as I am not in the office at the moment, but isn’t REETA dealt with under closing costs in the NWMLS forms?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Under the statutes seller is responsible for the excise tax as seller gets proceeds that are taxed.
<div>Only if the PSA specifically shifts the burden to pay that tax to buyer, does buyer have to pay. The deed cannot record until payment of the excise tax. -Greg Ursich, Inslee Best<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I now have a Seller claiming she does not have to pay excise tax and that it’s the Buyer’s responsibility because it is not stated in the NWMLS Form 21. I reviewed Forms 21 and 28 and nowhere does it state that Seller pays the excise tax.
The contract is silent on the matter. I have seen contracts that specifically shift the burden to Buyer.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does RCW 82.45.080 mandate that Seller pay when the contract is silent?
