📢Register today for one of our classes, tax-free!

Beginning October 1, 2025, a new Washington State law, ESSB 5814, goes into effect that requires us to collect sales tax on many of our language courses. This means that any live presentation—defined as real-time lectures, courses, or workshops, whether delivered in-person or online—will be treated as a retail sale. These transactions will be subject to both retailing B&O tax and retail sales tax when sold to consumers. This new law applies to all cultural organizations, including ARCS, and as a result our online classes will be taxed based on your billing location.

‼️Exception: One-on-one courses are not subject to this tax. Our private courses take place on a rolling basis, so you can register at any time and will not be charged sales tax.
