Ride sharing operations

This bill:

Replaces the existing definition of “commuter ride sharing” and “flexible ride sharing” that are used for determining eligibility for various tax credits and exemptions available to ride sharing operations, with a new, broader definition of “ride sharing.”

Adds “public transportation agencies” to the list of entities defined as ride sharing operators.

Results in a broader application of the B&O tax, the public utility tax, sales and use tax, and the motor vehicle excise tax credits/exemptions available to ride sharing operations.

Effective Sept. 1, 2021 ( SHB 1514 , Chapter 135, Laws of 2021).
