What are use and sales taxe?

Sales tax is a tax paid to a business by another business or an individual when they buy something. For example, when someone buys groceries, they pay sales tax in addition to the purchase price. When businesses buy items that they do not directly use, but are involved in some way in doing business with their customers, they do not pay sales tax. If the item is sold, the customer pays sales tax. However, some businesses do not directly resell items they buy without paying sales tax on them. For example, a business that has service contracts would not charge their customer for the items provided as part of the service contracts. In that situation, the purchasing business pays a "use tax" on the items they purchase in order to deliver on the service contracts. The customer, who has the service contract, never sees a bill for the item(s) or the use tax paid for them.

When typing a proposal that we are quoting wholesale prices plus a fee shipping and sales tax what do we put by the wholesale amount to define what kind of price it is?

It's quite simple. Whether your doing a Formal or Informal Proposal, here is an example of what you need to include in your proposal: * Original Retail Value * Wholesale Price * Description of the Product * Shipping Fees * What is your City's Current Tax % * Discounts Given / Coupons * All fees associated with the sale * Payment Terms: On Demand or Net 30/60/90/120 Days * Payment Methods You Accept: T/T, Cash, Credit Card, Money Order, Cashier's Check, etc... * Return Policy (If Applicable) * Any additional terms... Essentially, you need to outline all of your terms. No surprises. This way, your buyer will know exactly what to expect. Plus, your customer can rebuttal and/or negotiate for better terms, if need be. This is the art of business!

If a fuel surcharge is passed on to the customer does state sales tax apply?

Fuel surcharges are becoming more common due to increasing gasoline prices. The

taxability of a fuel surcharge follows the taxability of the service provided or the product

sold.

(1) Sales price is the measure subject to sales tax and means the total amount of

consideration, including cash, credit, property, and services, for which personal property

or services are sold, leased, or rented, valued in money, whether received

in money or otherwise, without any deduction for the following:

(A) The seller's cost of the property sold;

(B) The cost of materials used, labor or service cost, interest, losses, all costs of

transportation to the seller, all taxes imposed on the seller, and any other expense of the

seller;...

The retail sale of motor fuels such as gasoline is exempt from sales tax. Thus, when

purchased by the seller of services or property, gasoline is not subject to sales tax.

However, a separately stated fuel surcharge is an expense that a seller incurs in order to

perform a service or sell a product. The taxability of a fuel surcharge follows the

taxability of the service provided or the product sold. Thus, if the transaction is for a

service or product that is not subject to sales tax, then the fuel surcharge is also not

subject to tax. If the transaction is for a service or product that is subject to sales tax, then

the fuel surcharge is subject to tax.

Example:

• A landscaper performs a taxable mowing service at a customer's location. He

charges a separately stated "fuel surcharge" on the bill provided to the customer.

When this expense is passed along to the customer, it becomes part of the sales

price, regardless of whether it is included in a lump-sum charge for the mowing

service or separately itemized to the customer, because it is part of the

landscaper's overhead cost to perform the taxable service. Therefore, since the

service is taxable, the fuel surcharge is also taxable.

• A contractor installs a new roof at a customer's location. This installation is a

nontaxable service because it results in an exempt capital improvement. He

charges a separately stated "fuel surcharge" on the bill provided to the customer.

When this expense is passed along to the customer, it becomes part of the sales

price, regardless of whether it is included in a lump-sum charge for the

installation service or separately itemized to the customer, because it is part of the

contractor's overhead cost to perform the nontaxable installation service.

Therefore, since the service is not subject to sales tax, the fuel surcharge is also

not subject to tax.
