City Conference Survey on the way!

Partners --

Thanks to the nearly 40 of you who joined us in Renton Thursday for the 2012 BLS City Conference.

We thoroughly enjoyed meeting you. In some cases, it had been years since the last visit. In a few casees, we were meeting for the first time. We simply can't let as much time pass before we do that again.

Here’s an electronic copy of the Governor’s message thanking you for your efforts to support business in our state.

This week,we'll send a survey asking you how we did. We look forward to your input and are anxious to answer any questions or concerns you may still have.

Have a terrific week!

BLS Credit Card Fee Payments

Partners --

Some cities' BLS payments for the credit card processing fees are being misdirected, which may cause delays in credits to their accounts. These payments are the 2.5% of the city business license fees that businesses pay by credit card.

Help us correctly track your payments and apply credits. Be sure to remit payments to:

                                  Department of Revenue
                                  Revenue Accounting
                                  PO Box 47464
                                  Olympia WA 98504-7464

Make checks payable to:

                                  Department of Revenue

One last thing: Be sure to include a copy of the billing invoice or the top tear-off section with the check. That  helps ensure that your billing payments are applied correctly.

Thanks in advance for your help.
