I own a house painting company in N.Y state. Yes, a legitimate painting contractor is suppose to charge NYS Sales Tax on labor and materials that pertain to any interior or exterior painting. If the painter is working for a non profit organization, the organization must show a tax exempt certificate to the contractor and then there would be no sales tax. If the project is a capital improvement which would primarily be the painting of new construction then the property owner is responsible to provide the painting contractor with the proper documents and tax will not be charged. NYS requires a painting company to charge sales and use tax on all labor and material that are involved in the painting/coating/staining of pre-existing surfaces. There are many painters in NYS that are working illegally and dont charge sales tax. Illegal painting company's should not be hired, if they are not paying sales tax they are probably not licensed and probably have no insurance.

Do you have to pay sales tax on sales tax?
Normally, you only pay sales tax on the retail price of an item as calculated after most discounts (but not all) have been applied. In many states, this is calculated before shipping and sometimes labor charges are added to the invoice. There are a few rare cases where sales tax could be applied on top of another tax similar to a sales tax, such as with the excise tax in Hawaii or the GST tax in VAT tax being applied after the GST tax in Quebec and Prince Edward Island, Canada. I suppose other instances of sales tax on top of sales tax could happen if you, for instance, purchased a car stereo, paid sales tax on it, and then paid a taxable labor charge that was based on the price of the stereo to have it installed. This scenario is not common however.
