JLARC Preliminary Report: 2017 Tax Preference Performance Reviews |
The Preference Provides | Tax Type | Estimated Biennial Beneficiary Savings |
---|---|---|
A sales and use tax exemption on the first $32,000 of a sale or lease agreement for qualifying new clean alternative fuel vehicles with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $42,500 or less for the lowest price base model. The preference is scheduled to expire when one of the following occurs:
|
Sales and Use |
$14.8 million |
Public Policy Objective |
---|
The Legislature stated it wanted to increase the use of qualifying clean alternative fuel vehicles by reducing the price of such vehicles. |
Recommendations |
---|
Legislative Auditor’s Recommendation Review: The Legislature should review the preference in the 2019 legislative session if the number of qualifying vehicles titled in Washington has not reached 7,500. Commissioner Recommendation: Available in October 2017. |
The Legislature passed this sales and use tax preference with the stated purpose to increase the use of clean alternative fuel vehicles in Washington.
Clean alternative fuel vehicles are powered by electricity, natural gas, propane, or hydrogen and must meet specific emission standards.
Individuals are exempt from paying sales or use tax on the first $32,000 of a sale or lease agreement for vehicles with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $42,500 or less for the lowest base model.
Qualifying vehicles must be either exclusively powered by a clean alternative fuel or plug-in hybrids that use electricity as at least one power source, and can travel at least 30 miles using only battery power.
The sales and use tax exemption has three components: the 6.5 percent state sales tax, an additional 0.3 percent sales tax for motor vehicle sales, and the applicable local sales tax.
The preference expires as soon as one of the following occurs:
The first sales and use tax preference, passed in 2005, took effect January 1, 2009, when the first alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) were expected to be on the market.
Since then, the Legislature has continued to modify the preference to encourage more use of qualifying AFVs.
The Legislature passed two sales and use tax exemptions for sales and leases of qualifying new passenger cars, light duty trucks, and medium duty passenger vehicles. Qualifying vehicles had to be powered by a clean alternative fuel or by hybrid technology with highway mileage ratings of at least 40 miles per gallon. There were no price limitations for qualifying vehicles.
The preferences were scheduled to expire January 1, 2011.
The Legislature repealed the sales and use tax exemption for new hybrid technology vehicles with highway mileage ratings of at least 40 miles per gallon.
The Legislature did not change the preference for sales and leases of new vehicles powered only by clean alternative fuel.
The Legislature expanded the preference to apply to qualifying used vehicles that were part of a fleet of five or more vehicles all owned by the same person. The used vehicles had to be modified after their initial purchase to run exclusively on a clean alternative fuel and meet other qualifying criteria.
The Legislature also extended the expiration date from January 1, 2011, to July 1, 2015.
After the existing tax preference expired on July 1, 2015, the Legislature passed a new, modified preference that took effect July 15, 2015.
The new exemption applied to sales and leases for the following vehicles with a sales or lease price of $35,000 or less:
The exemption no longer applied to sales or leases of used, modified vehicles.
The Legislature established a July 1, 2019, expiration date.
Effective July 1, the preference applies to the first $32,000 of a vehicle’s sales price or lease agreement on new qualifying vehicles with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $42,500 or less for the lowest base model.
The preference expires as soon as one of the following occurs:
The sales and use tax exemption is one of many tools used to encourage the use of alternative fuel vehicles and clean fuel.
A federal income tax credit is currently available to people who purchase new, qualifying plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). For vehicles purchased after December 31, 2009, the minimum credit is $2,500 and the maximum is $7,500. The credit amount is determined by the vehicle’s battery capacity and gross weight. The credit will phase out when a manufacturer’s cumulative sales reach 200,000 vehicles.
Governor Inslee’s “Results Washington” program set a goal to increase the number of PEVs registered in Washington to 50,000 by 2020. This includes all PEVs, not just those that are exempt from sales and use tax.
In addition to the sales and use tax preference, the Legislature has passed several other preferences related to clean alternative fuel vehicles and related infrastructure.
Preference | Description |
---|---|
Clean Alternative Fuel Commercial Vehicle B&O or Public Utility Tax (PUT) Credit | Credits for businesses purchasing or leasing a clean alternative fuel commercial vehicle or modifying a vehicle to use clean fuel. |
EV Battery and Charging Station Sales and Use Tax Exemption Click here for 2017 JLARC review. | Exemption for purchases of batteries, component parts of EV infrastructure, and labor and services to install and repair batteries or infrastructure. |
EV Leasehold Excise Tax (LET) Exemption Click here for 2017 JLARC review. | Exemption for private leases of public land to construct, install, or operate EV infrastructure. |
EV Supply Equipment (EVSE) Return on Utility Investment Incentive | Utilities and Transportation Commission may approve an additional 2% to the standard return rate if the utility installs EVSE on a fully regulated basis like other capital investments. |
Biodiesel Feedstock Sales and Use Tax Exemption | Exemptions for purchases of waste vegetable oil (cooking oil) from restaurants or commercial food processors that is used to produce biodiesel for personal use. |
Alternative Fuel and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Emissions Inspection Exemption | Exemption from state emissions control inspections on dedicated electric, natural gas, and propane vehicles, and HEVs with an EPA fuel economy rating of at least 50 MPG (city driving). |
Natural Gas Used in Transportation - Various Preferences | Five preferences for the manufacturers and sellers of natural gas used for transportation. |
The Legislature stated it wanted to increase the use of qualifying clean alternative fuel vehicles by reducing the price of such vehicles.
The Legislature categorized the sales and use tax preference as intending to induce certain behaviors. The stated public policy objective was to:
“. . . . increase the use of clean alternative fuel vehicles in Washington . . . by extend[ing] the existing sales and use tax exemption on certain clean alternative fuel vehicles in order to reduce the price charged to customers for clean alternative fuel vehicles.”
In 2016, the Legislature directed JLARC to report on the number of clean alternative fuel vehicles titled in the state to measure the effectiveness of the tax preference.
The Legislature identified two targets for when the sales and use tax preference should expire. The preference will end when the first of these is reached:
The preference has reduced the purchase and lease price of qualifying new clean alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). Prices are reduced by the applicable sales tax rate for the first $32,000 of the sale or lease agreement.

The Department of Licensing has issued 3,520 titles for qualifying vehicles since July 15, 2015. This represents 47 percent progress toward the 7,500 target. To reach 7,500 titles before the final expiration date of July 1, 2019, an additional 3,980 qualifying AFVs must be titled between April 1, 2017, and July 1, 2019. This equates to 442 per quarter.
Since July 1, 2016, the number of new titles per quarter has exceeded 442 and has increased each successive quarter. If this trend continues, the 7,500 target will be met before the final expiration date.
Throughout this period, the federal income tax credit for purchases of new, qualifying plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) has remained in place.
Department of Licensing data indicates that clean AFVs accounted for just 0.5 percent of new titles for vehicles of the same class in Fiscal Year 2016.
During the first five months of Fiscal Year 2017 (July through November 2016, the latest data available when this report was published), the share of AFVs increased to 0.9 percent of new vehicle titles for similar classes of vehicles.
Sixty percent of the newly titled qualifying alternative fuel vehicles were in King County between July 2015 and November 2016. Snohomish County and Pierce County were the second and third top counties for total number of new AFV titles.
Continuing the tax preference beyond the expiration date will provide a reduction in the sale or lease price of qualifying vehicles for up to $32,000. While this may encourage people to purchase qualifying vehicles, other issues also influence vehicle purchasing decisions. These include:
Tax preferences have direct beneficiaries (entities whose state tax liabilities are directly affected) and may have indirect beneficiaries (entities that may receive benefits from the preference, but are not the primary recipient of the benefit).
The direct beneficiaries are individuals, businesses, and public or private entities that purchase or lease a qualifying clean alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) in Washington.
The purchaser or lessee does not pay sales or use tax on up to $32,000 of the qualifying vehicle’s sale or lease agreement. Qualifying vehicles include:
Between July 15, 2015, and March 31, 2017, there have been 3,520 titles issued to individuals and other entities that have benefited from the preference.
Indirect beneficiaries are automobile dealers who sell or lease qualifying vehicles. The tax preference reduces the price of vehicles, especially when paired with available federal tax credits and other manufacturer or dealer offers.
JLARC staff estimate direct beneficiary savings of $3.9 million in Fiscal Year 2016 and $14.8 million for the 2017-19 Biennium.
The preference is currently scheduled to expire when the first of these occur: 7,500 qualifying vehicles are titled in Washington, since July 15, 2015, or July 1, 2019.
JLARC staff estimated the beneficiary savings using Department of Licensing data on qualifying new titles. It is unclear if the savings will increase or continue at the pace they did for the first nine months of Fiscal Year 2017.
If they do continue at the same pace, the total number of new titles could reach the 7,500 target to end the preference by the middle of Fiscal Year 2019.
Biennium | Fiscal Year | Qualifying Vehicle Sales | State Sales Tax (includes 0.3% vehicles sales tax) | Local Sales Tax | Beneficiary Savings |
---|---|---|---|---|---|

If the tax preference was allowed to expire, purchasers of qualifying AFVs and plug-in hybrids would pay sales or use tax on the full cost of the vehicle.
The impact of the preference on sales of qualifying vehicles is unknown. Many other issues influence whether consumers decide to purchase these vehicles.
Most states and the District of Columbia provide incentives to encourage use of alternative fuels and vehicles. The U.S. Department of Energy maintains an Alternative Fuel Data Center, tracking incentive programs offered in each state.
Only Washington and New Jersey provide sales and use tax exemptions for new purchases and leases of clean alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs).
States use a variety of other tools to encourage AFV adoption, including: income tax credits, rebates, grants, low interest loans, HOV lane access, free parking, reduced or exempted vehicle registrations, and emissions test exemptions.

The Legislature should review the sales and use tax preference for clean alternative fuel vehicles in the 2019 legislative session if the number of qualifying vehicles titled in Washington has not reached 7,500.
The preference reduces the price of the sale or lease agreement for qualifying new alternative fuel vehicles. However, it is unknown the extent the preference is impacting sales. Other factors also influence vehicle purchasing decisions.
As of March 31, 2017, 3,520 qualifying vehicles were titled, which is 47 percent of the 7,500 target. If this trend continues, the target will be met before the final expiration date. If that target is not met, the preference will expire on July 1, 2019.
Legislation required: To be determined (preference expires July 1, 2019).
Fiscal impact: Depends on legislative action.
