Brent,

Maybe should educate your customers about sales tax, let them know it’s the law in Texas.  I’ve never had that problem here in Dallas; every customer knows that they have to pay sales tax.

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
