When do I charge sales tax on my IT services business? There are two categories of charges, hourly consulting fees, and a monthly fee that is part of a pre-determined contract.

ANSWER

The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

Professional services related to information technology are not subject to sales tax in the state of New York as defined in Tax Bulletin ST-740 (TB-ST-740). Do you have tax nexus in other states? Also, are you writing software? If so, custom software is not subject to sales tax, only pre-written off-the-shelf software is in New York State.
