Overview
At Anrok, we're committed to keeping our customers informed about critical tax regulation changes and continuously enhancing our platform with new features that improve your experience. Welcome to our Spring 2026 edition!
🔍 Regulatory Update
SaaS businesses are facing numerous changes in sales tax rules as governments worldwide implement new digital tax regulations. These changes can vary from state to state and country to country, so Anrok ensures that software companies operating in multiple locations can stay up-to-date.
Important policy changes:
- Washington enacts sales and B&O tax changes with future relief — Governor Bob Ferguson signed SB 6346, repealing sales tax on several services that became taxable in October 2025, including custom software, IT consulting, data processing, security services, and temporary staffing. The bill also raises small business B&O tax credits and doubles the B&O filing threshold to $250,000. [Learn more]
- Missouri House passes bill to replace income taxes with expanded sales taxes — The Missouri House passed a bill that would phase out the state's individual income tax and replace that revenue with expanded sales taxes covering services and digital goods. The bill now moves to the Senate, and would ultimately require voter approval. [Learn more]
- Kentucky clarifies AI software is taxable as prewritten software — The Kentucky Department of Revenue confirmed that artificial intelligence software is classified as prewritten computer software for sales tax purposes, regardless of its ability to adapt responses or generate output based on user data. [Learn more]
- Rhode Island rules online legal research subscriptions are taxable software — Rhode Island's Division of Taxation ruled that online legal database subscriptions qualify as taxable prewritten software rather than an exempt information service, because their search and retrieval functionality meets the state's definition of taxable software.

Note
Washington's SB 6346 relief provisions don't take effect until January 1, 2029, and are contingent on the state's new income tax surviving court validation. Continue applying current rules to the affected services until the relief date is confirmed.
