5 cents per square foot...unless you want to make money. If you want to make money, you should work for time and materials. And don't waste either while getting the job done or it'll be the last thing you paint.

Is sales tax on labor applied in NY for Painters?

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. -Thomas Kellogg Kellogg's Painting Company www.kelloggspainting.com Painting homes and business in the Hudson Valley and Catskills, New York areas.
