I'm being told my 2024 R1T lease (~42k total) does not qualify for the WA sales tax exemption. Any idea why the 2024 R1T is the only Rivian year/model that isn't on the list? Looks like all the R1S & 2023 R1T's qualify...Rivian doesn't know what they are talking about here. You can absolutely get the EV cap. cost reduction as well as the WA tax credit.
However, in your case you don't need to pay taxes on your lease at all, even if you didn't have any tax credits, because the sum of your lease payments is 1,568.34 * 24 = 37,640.16, which is less than 45,000. Any EV lease transaction where the sum of the lease payments is less than $45,000 is exempt from tax (https://www.dol.wa.gov/vehicles-and...ns-alternative-fuel-vehicles-and-plug-hybrids). Qualifying makes and models are at https://data.wa.gov/Transportation/...Eligibility-by-Make-Mo/aug9-4a7g/data_preview (and Rivian is included).
