Revised Code of Washington - RCW Title 82 Excise Taxes - Section 82.14.010 Legislative finding -- Purpose

§ 82.14.010. Legislative finding -- Purpose

The legislature finds that the several counties and cities of the state lack adequate sources of revenue to carry out essential county and municipal purposes. The legislature further finds that the most efficient and appropriate methods of deriving revenues for such purposes is to vest additional taxing powers in the governing bodies of counties and cities which they may or may not implement. The legislature intends, by enacting this chapter, to provide the means by which essential county and municipal purposes can be financially served should they choose to employ them.
