Things to know in the United States
There is no federal VAT in the US. Sales tax is set by states, counties and cities, and many states do not tax labor-only services. Check your state revenue department for what is taxable in your trade.
Many tradespeople show materials and labor on separate lines, because materials are often taxable when labor is not.
Net 15 or Net 30 terms are common for commercial clients; homeowners usually pay on completion or with a deposit up front.
