Back to State Tax

I work for a company based in Georgia, but I recently moved to Washington state and am working remotely from there. Apparently Washington has an odd tax law that severely limits how much an employee for an out-of-state company can earn before that company would have to collect and pay taxes for this state too. I cannot get a raise or bonus from my company because of the odd tax law. The limit is somewhere in the 43-45k range. Does anyone have any advice for ways to work around this, or experience with this type of scenario?
ANSWER
Expert Mitchell Day's Answer:
Your company is blowing smoke or doesn't understand the tax rules. No such odd tax exists.
The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:
Did they provide support for this tax? The only taxes that are assessed by Washington State for employment are unemployment insurance and that is only up to a taxable base of $38,200 for 2012.
