Dang, Dido, but it's hard to make sense out of what you're trying to
say, but I'll give it a go.

news Depends on your state's laws. And whether they can provide an exempt
purchase certificate.


Some do but state say it is not valid according they findings
so what don't you go after them, hell no it is much easer
getting it from you because they don't want to deal with
corporate lawyers and they know if you hire one it
will cost you much more

Let me give you another example how some of things works
in this state of New Jersey.
Home Depot appliance store you go there and you purchase
let say stove. store will charge you for delivery, the charge
for delivery is sales tax exempt.
but if you charge for delivery of you service to your customer
that is not exempt from sales tax
so the service contractor becomes second class citizen
and must pay user tax on delivery charges.

You don't pay the tax, your clients do.

You right Steve but there is problem there all my work is
done through or by purchase orders some co. issued
PO's before you start to work and some issue PO's
after work is done after I look over PO's I will go back
to them and say hey you did not includ tax in it
they respouns is we are paying state dirctly we do not
isue resale's tax certificate, however they do put on
they PO's we are exempt from sales tax with thier resale
number and that are paying state directly,
however State audit say hell no they are not exempt
you are paying tax for them.
end of story.

A simple statement on their PO is *NOT* sufficient for the tax commission,
you have to have a copy of the *state issued* tax exemption certificate. If
it helps, figure the sales tax into your quote as a seperate line item.
Specify on the quote that if they cannot provide you with a copy of their
*state issued* tax exemption certificate, that they *WILL* pay the tax as
per the quote. If they can't handle that, then you don't need to be doing
business with crooks.

HD is delivering a product,
I'm not sure what business you're in other than it's not HVAC, but
presumably it's some sort of service field. If that's the case you're
providing a service vs a product.

I know that most of you guys don't charge for service delivery
but in my line of work we do charge per mile because always
distance is involve. when you think about it, it is some what
funny your vehicle and maintenance is IRS tax deductible
but your state user/sales tax it is not.

Unless you have a completely incompetent accountant sales tax you
collect from you clients and pass along to your state is deductible
from your business gross sales.

another scenario trucker can purchase truck with sales tax
exempt but we can not purchase our service van without
paying sales or user tax on it.

So, there's another expense you have to pass along.

gentlemen there is lots of problems in our system.
and I am not knocking our country down but
it definitely needs some upgrade and yes you guys can make
the change if you keep sending legislature Email every day
not for me I am 68 years old I don't give heck one or the other
but the way they screwed me I will not take it laying down!

I don't think it fair that every owner of a vehicle has to pay sales
tax on it. By that I mean, every time a specific vehicle is sold,
first as new and then every subsequent sale as a used vehicle, the new
purchaser must pay sales tax on it.

I don't think it's fair I have to pay sales tax on state and federal
taxes on tires, or fuel, or any one of probably hundreds of items that
have sales tax charged on other taxes. That's life.

No entity is tax-exempt from the labor you provide.
