Washington state is implementing a sales tax exemption on hybrid cars and new clean alternative fuel vehicles. The exemption, enacted back in 2005, begins on January 1, 2009 and expires December 31, 2010.
In order to qualify, the car has to get 40 mpg or better. There are very few cars that are that fuel efficient on the road. Or you can buy any vehicle including passenger cars, light duty trucks and medium duty passenger vehicles that are powered by clean alternative fuels such as natural gas, propane, hydrogen or electricity.
If you purchase the vehicle before Jan. 1, make sure the vehicle is registered, titled, and delivered after the 1st so that you can qualify. Out of state purchases as well as leases qualify.
