Tax added to what you charge and passed on to the government. Almost everything about it varies with where the work is done: the rate, whether you must register at all, whether labour is taxable as well as materials, and whether the rate follows your address or the customer's. It is one of the few places where guessing has a direct financial penalty attached, so get the answer for your own jurisdiction rather than copying another contractor's invoice.
This one depends on where you work
The rule behind sales tax is set by the province or state the work is in, and the versions do not agree with one another. We have described the shape of it and deliberately not named a deadline, a cap or a percentage — check the rule where you work, or ask someone who practises there.
In FieldQuo — Sales tax that matches the address
FieldQuo holds your rates and puts the right one on the document for where the work is, rather than a single company-wide rate.
