Filing requirements
All risk retention groups registered in the State of Washington during the calendar year must file an online tax form, as provided by this office, even if no business was actually transacted within Washington during that time. Alternate filing methods are not accepted.
Due date
The completed online form and payment must be received by the OIC on or before March 1 following the end of the calendar year. When the due date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the form and payment are considered timely if received the next business day.
Caution: Do not mail a paper version of the form or any attachments to our office.
Completing your premium tax form
Tax is generally due on all premiums, unless specifically exempted on the tax form. If you have questions, please contact us.
Premiums reported must be on the same basis as required on the Annual Statement.
The Washington tax rate is 2%. Calculations for the Washington portion of the form will be completed automatically.
Selecting "Print" will print your form exactly as it appears on the screen, even if you have not saved your work.
The "Save progress" button does not check for errors.
Remember: Save your work before moving away from the form; your work is not automatically saved.
Premium Reporting section
Premiums as Reported on the Annual Statement
Premiums entered in this section should, with few exceptions, match premiums reported for Washington on the corresponding lines of the Exhibit of Premiums and Losses (state page) filed with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
Excess Bail Bonds are bail bond premiums and fees in excess of those reported on the state page and are not included in Line 24 or 34; please report these premiums using the unnumbered line under Line 34.
