    kerus, I used to run my own shop back in Austin and we charged sales tax for everything we did. We collected it and then paid it to the sate at the end of the year. Keeping solid books was a necessity!

    However, there is debate about wether you HAVE to charge sales tax. The state (os Texas) says that you have to charge for any "tangible" product. Consulting is not a tangible product so I think alot of design houses don't charge sales tax. I have no idea what the laws are like here (NY).

    There's some really great advice in this thread. Thanks all!
