I was tuning in and around Philly from '79-81, and the sales tax was expanded at about that time. I'm sure it has expanded more since then, but at the time the folks in Harrisburg explained to me that - "sales tax is levied on services performed on items which themselves are taxable." i.e. If I were a tailor, my services would be tax free since clothing was(is?) not taxed, but as a piano tech... BTW, I still have the 6% PA sales tax chart [REV 221 (3-78)] taped inside my billing pad case. Conrad Conrad Hoffsommer mailto:hoffsoco@luther.edu Chi si ferma è perduto.
