Is there any sales tax on the Vinyl replacement windows? Some
companies told me that there is one. But others say no and the price
for the windows should be everything. For example, if the price for 10
windows is $4k, it's 4k not 4k + sales tax. Which one is right?

It's simple.

First, you are not facing a SALES tax: it's a SALES and USE tax.

If the vendor has a physical presence in your state, he collects the tax and
remits the money to the state comptroller.

If the vendor does NOT have a presence in your state, YOU are responsible
for sending the appropriate tax amount to your state treasury.
