I maintain/clean boats and some times I install zincs which are very cheap by themselves but I charge a higher retail price for them and include an installation fee.
How do I setup my invoice so my clients pay me for the state tax on the zincs but not on the installation? I don't want the bill to be too high.
Also I'm not sure I want my clients to know where the zinc price ends and the installation fee begins... wink! wink! Some of those zinc are so small they're not worth doing.
I'm starting to think the tax exemption is not worth the trouble and I should just pay it at my zinc supplier. I did the math and it's only about 2.5%, about $2 or less, taken out of my profit.
What do you guys think?
