RCW 82.17.050 — Application of tax to manufacturers that sell fewer than 25,000 vehicles.

The tax imposed under RCW 82.17.030 does not apply to a manufacturer that banks or sells credits associated with zero-emission vehicles or qualifying plug-in hybrid zero-emission vehicles in an amount below a total of 25,000 zero-emission vehicles or plug-in hybrid zero-emission vehicles that are banked or sold for a model year by the manufacturer. A manufacturer that banks or sells ZEV credits, in total, for a model year of zero-emission vehicle program implementation in an amount equal to or exceeding the ZEV credits associated with 25,000 zero-emission vehicles or plug-in hybrid zero-emission vehicles must pay the tax imposed under this chapter on each credit banked or sold by the manufacturer for that model year.
