Advisory vote on state's capital gains tax
Washington voters are rejecting the state's new capital gains tax with 63% of the votes counted so far against it and 37% approving.
It imposes a 7% tax on the sale of stocks, bonds and other high-end assets in excess of $250,000 for both individuals and couples.
The advisory vote is meant to gauge public opinion.
The Washington state Legislature imposed the tax, without voter approval, earlier this year. Gov. Jay Inslee signed the tax into law in May 2021.
