It is the
law here in Texas for us to collect the tax. We call the customer and tell them
they have to cut another check for the tax or provide a tax exempt certificate.
There is no choice. If you are ever audited they will find it and you will have
to pay. Tell them your sorry for the inconvenience but the law is the law. Cassy Cassandra Huffman Safety Director Martin's Window Cleaning Corp. 11209 Todd Houston, Texas 77055 713-956-0112 office 713-956-5521 fax 832-347-1122 addressis@removed www.window-cleaning.com Providing Service Beyond

Message----- I seem
to be having a much repeated problem with Sales tax collection. In person
it is never a problem, however I leave many invoices in the course of a
month. The number that come back without sales tax is annoying. In
the past I have done nothing about it, but it adds up after a while.
I would like your input about the following thoughts. 1.
Mailing a return letter explaing my responsability to collect state (texas)
sales tax. and invoice for the proper amount. 2.
What are the odds of "ticking" someone off for causing them to write
another check. Most customers (residential) are more bothered by
"hassles" than the monitery value. 3.
Doing nothing about it. I know it adds up, but marketing a residential
service is directed to a Luxurious living, resulting in a well paying job,
which creating, and annoyance (from the customers ppoint of view) may cost a
customer. I am
leaning towards sending some type of return letter, but wonder if the
"experience' of this group has learned lessons already worth sharing.. Merry
Christmas Brent
