Yes, in the state of New York you can charge sales tax on labor. This tax law is different for each state, so if you travel away from NY, be sure to check local state law.
Many states recently changed sales tax laws to apply taxes to labor. The rules vary by state. Iowa, New Jersey and Virginia charge tax on labor. California does not.
The sales tax rate are not the same in every state. It varies on what the state and local governments charge. If a business has a sales tax license, then they are allowed to charge it.
yes.
Not in my state.... I was an auto mechanic, and sales tax is only charged on parts.... not on the cost of labor or on gas and oil (the price on gas and oil already includes all applicable taxes)TW
Most of the time labor must be itemized separately for you not to be charged sales tax. In cases like where a contractor puts a new roof on a home for $8,000 then sales tax must be charged for the whole amount. If the invoice lists the bill of $4500 for materials and $3500 for labor to put on new shingles then sales tax would only be charged for the material and not for the labor. This is pretty much the law in just about every state.

probably not
All sales of tangible personal property in Iowa are subject to sales tax unless exempted by state law. Sales of services are exempt from Iowa sales tax unless taxed (enumerated) by state law. Labor is not tangible personal property So what that means, is unless the labor is specifically enumerated as a taxable type of service, than labor is NOT taxable. see http://www.state.ia.us/tax/educate/78539.html#ExemptSales for a listing on labor that requires collection of state sales tax.
States charge sales tax because the state government needs to make money, and taxation is the only way to make money for the state.
