Nothing is certain – But death and taxes – well at least for WA State residents. WA state just passed into law an “Digital Goods” tax. This tax applies to all “Subscription” and “online” services (premium) – In our case – this _does_ apply to us.
Good News:
We are only supposed to collect taxes for WA state residents! So if you are not in WA state, you can use QP tax free!
