Bill > SB5411

This bill clarifies the tax treatment of Pilates studios and gymnastics facilities by modifying the existing Washington state tax code (RCW 82.04.050) to specifically include Pilates and gymnastics in the definition of certain athletic and fitness facility services. The bill expands the existing provisions about athletic and fitness facilities to explicitly mention Pilates and gymnastics classes, training, events, and associated services. Specifically, the legislation adds Pilates and gymnastics to the list of activities that are exempt from certain tax classifications when conducted outside of a dedicated athletic or fitness facility, such as when held at community centers, parks, schools, hospitals, or private residences. The bill will take effect on October 1, 2025, and aims to provide clarity about how such fitness-related services are taxed under Washington state law. By making these specific additions, the bill ensures that Pilates and gymnastics services are treated consistently with other similar physical fitness activities under the state's tax regulations.
