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..
