Team KJC,
With the implementation of ESSB 5814 in WA there is going to be a change in cost due to retail sales tax.
My understanding is that our monthly tuition doesn't fall under the retail sales tax so we will not be charging the 9.5% retail sales tax (I've emailed the state for clarification) on monthly dues. This may, or may not change based on what the state responds with.
If we conduct a seminar, and charge a separate fee for doing it (which we probably won't charge), we would have to charge the retail sales tax on it.
What is does change, is a retail sales tax on the sale of the Judo Gi's. I have to include the retail sales tax on all future Judo Gi sales.
Please rest assured, that I'm committed to keeping cost down as low as possible. You've all become a part of our Family, and we will do everything we can to take care of you.
