Who is responsible for collecting or paying sales and use tax?
Contractors are generally considered to be retailers when the tangible personal property they purchase is not converted to real property but retains its character as tangible personal property. In addition, contractors are considered to be retailers of any taxable services they perform. Generally a contractor must obtain a seller’s permit from the applicable taxing jurisdiction if the contractor will be selling items of tangible personal property or selling taxable services. If the contractor separately charges for the materials – such as under a time and materials contract – sales tax is generally calculated on the marked-up billing price of the materials, whereas if the materials are provided under a lump sum or similar type contract, sales tax is generally calculated on the contractor’s cost of the materials. This white paper reviews what is required of a contractor in situations in which they act as a retailer of tangible personal property.
