I am planning a move from Idaho to Washington for a job transfer. AFAIK, WA does not have income tax, but instead opt for a higher sales tax (~10%.) My thought is that I can avoid some of the exorbitant sales taxes by purchasing on the internet, but in Idaho, the state requires its residents to declare internet purchases on its income tax form.
Does WA also require this declaration? And if so, how do they go about collecting it, seeing how there is no state income tax? Because the cost of living is so much higher in WA, I'm considering ways to reduce the burden... if WA does require internet sales tax, then that will be a consideration in my decision to move or not move there.
