New to the bussiness world. At what point do I start chargeing sales tax? I have a handyman/construction.? -

I have been doing side jobs for years but now I am stating go main stream. I have always claimed my income to the IRS but now at this point when if any do I start charging sales tax? I was living in California and now live in El Paso Texas if that makes any difference. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Typically sales tax is collected on tangible items that you sell. Usually sales tax is not required for service work.

Contact the State Treasurer s Office. Make sure your business needs to collect and report sales tax.

Here is the link to the sales tax page at the CA Tax Service Center.http://www.taxes.ca.gov/Sales_and_Use_Ta��
