RE: [World] Sales Tax Collection

This is your problem, but not your fault. I think a phone call would be better, as it won’t cost anything but your time. I wouldn’t worry about hassling someone who should see that their omission is the problem, not the phone call.

If you have this problem repeatedly, I would consider giving a “taxes included price” (boost the end price to include sales tax) so there is no possible confusion on the numbers.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [World] Sales Tax Collection

 

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
