There is stipulations to paying sales tax or not. Here is the link...http://www.dor.wa.gov/Content/FindTaxesAndRates/RetailSalesTax/Nonresidents/default.aspx
Just remember a store decides whether they will charge sales tax or not to a non resident. If they do then they are a part of the program listed in the link.
No they do not decide....if you have the proper documentation AND qualify for the exemption they must not charge tax.
However, in reality, most things you buy, especially if your just visiting from out of state, will be taxable (they are not exempt). And if they are, then - law abiding and demanding person you be - you MUST by law, report and pay any taxes at your place of residence (since that is where you would be using them, and that incurrs the tax most anyplace).
Remember:
The law provides an exemption for:
- Sales of tangible personal property.
- use outside Washington.
- persons who can establish nonresident status.
The exemption does not apply to charges for services that are included within the definition of the term "sale at retail." This includes, but is not limited to, services such as:
- Lodging at hotels or motels.
- Repair services (except vehicle repairs where the parts portion is not taxable to qualifying nonresidents).
- Laundry or dry cleaning services.
- Automobile towing or parking.
- Amusement and recreational activities such as Golf, Bowling, and charter fishing.
- Personal services such as tanning, tattooing, and dating services.
- Abstract, title insurance, or escrow services
The exemption also does not apply to sales of articles substantially used or consumed within Washington. This includes, but is not limited to sales of:
- Meals or refreshments prepared for immediate consumption.
- Articles to persons in the military stationed within Washington.
- Articles to nonresident students attending schools in this state.
- Articles to any other nonresident temporarily residing in Washington.

Being a resident of Alaska do you have to pay sales tax in California?
Yes you do. Just because you are a resident of Alaska does not make you exempt from any kind of sales tax. If you go to another city, state, country, or whatever, you MUST abide by their laws. If California has sales tax, then you must pay it if you want to shop there. However, shopping in Seattle, Alaska residents do not have to pay their sales tax if you let the clerk know you are an Alaska resident, show your valid ID, and fill out a form giving your name, driver's license number, and contact information.

Would you be required to pay California sales tax on a new car purchase if you are a Utah resident?
No.California might try to force you to, but you are technically required only to pay the sales tax of the state in which you are a resident.This is a common issue on the Washington-Oregon border. Washington has no income tax. Oregon has no sales tax. Washington residents near the border often make "big ticket" (furniture, cars, etc.) purchases in Oregon to avoid Washington sales tax. Washington sales tax agents hang out in the parking lots of Oregon furniture stores looking for Washington license tags.GOTCHA!
