Hi ric, Exempting ongoing legitimate businesses from collecting sales and use tax because they happen to gross under a certain dollar amount is a bad idea in my mind. This lowers the total cost to the client which gives these exempt businesses an unfair advantage. In the piano tech world I'm sure we all know of tuners who have full time jobs in another field, possibly deriving complete benefit packages from these other occupations. Their piano tech fees seem to be lower then us doing it full time. If they aren't grossing over $20,000 and this exempts them from collecting sales tax, this in my mind is making the situation worse for us full time techs. With all this said, other techs lower prices don't worry me, state gov't favoritism would rankle me though. Sincerely, Doug Mahard
