Wash. Admin. Code § 314-55-092 - Failure to pay excise taxes and late payment of excise taxes

(1) If a cannabis licensee does not submit its payment(s) to the LCB as required in WAC 314-55-089: The licensee is subject to penalties.

Penalties: A penalty of two percent per month will be assessed on the outstanding balance for any payments postmarked after the 20th day of the month following the month of sale. When the 20th day of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday, the filing must be postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service no later than the next postal business day. Absent a postmark, the date received at the LCB or authorized designee, will be used to assess the penalty of two percent per month on the outstanding balance after the 20th day of the month following the month of sale.

(2) Failure to make a report and/or pay the license taxes and/or penalties in the manner and dates outlined in WAC 314-55-089 will be sufficient grounds for the LCB to suspend or revoke a cannabis license.
