You only can charge sales tax on items (food, clothing), not labor.
In Florida, charges for repairs of tangible personal property needing only labor or service are not taxable.
In Georgia just like most other sales taxes it depends on how you invoice your customers. I often times advise clients on this issue. You need to invoice material and labor separately on your invoices that you give to your customers. If you do this then the answer is no, you will not have to charge or pay sales tax on the labor portion. If you bill a client say $5000 for the building of a deck and that's all the bill says then you must pay sales tax on the $5000 total. If you list $2250 for material and $2750 for labor then you will only pay sales tax on the $2250 material part of the bill. Most people don't want to show this much detail. You must be honest in your separation. You can't charge $1 for material and $4999 and think you are being smart by screwing the tax people. If you do this you will regret it. Expectation is you charge more for materials than you pay for them for handling, profit, etc.
I can not speak for all professions but as a business owner I do know about the automotive industry. If any part is used in a repair then you do pay tax on the total bill. If you had your door hinges lubricated then you pay tax as there was a lubricant used and it stays on the car. If you had your Cooling system tested and no parts or fluids were used then you do Not pay tax on the labor. Also there is no tax on wrecker service. Repair Labor Only Charges for repairs of tangible personal property needing only labor or service are not taxable. The dealer must keep documentation to prove no tangible personal property was joined with, or attached to the repaired item. The sales tax and surtax apply when parts are used in the repair even if the parts are provided at no charge
The sales tax on a product is based on where it is sold, so yes.
