Is there a sales tax on landscaping services?

Usually sales taxes are charged on goods and not on services. If you are selling items such as plants and providing services such as planting, design work, grass cutting, etc then you need to be careful how you invoice such items. If you invoice for landscaping services which including planting grass and shrubs, trees, etc. and you invoice the entire amount as one charge then the total charge is subject to sales tax. Your invoice should be set up carefully by dividing plants, fertilizer, lime, etc separately and apply sales tax to this amount then have labor billed separately on the invoice and you will not apply sales tax to the labor portion. This applies to contractors or all types and anyone who sell material and services. If they are not divided on the invoice that you give to the client then you will be responsible for sales tax on the entire amount.
