This is a situation where you have to be very careful. If you list on your invoice one amount for new alternator and list a price of $250, then you will have to collect sales tax on the entire amount. If, however, you list on your invoice New Alternator $150 and Labor to Install $100 then you will only collect and pay sales tax on the $150 for the Parts and not sales tax on the labor. This must be done at the time that the invoice is given to the customer and you can't have one for you and one for the customer. You must divide the charges for parts and labor on the invoice in order to not be liable for the entire amount of the service.

Even a law firm or accounting firm will mark up labor by more than 18%, although their gross profit on labor (hours) will not be as high as other industries.

This depends on how you complete your invoices that you give to your customers. For instance, if you list one amount for repair of a computer, then you will have to pay sales tax on the entire amount. If you list parts and labor separately on your invoices, then you will be liable for sale tax only on the amount of the parts and not for labor. Your parts amount will be required to reflect your cost for the parts plus an amount for profit and handling of the parts.
