you are supposed to charge for printing. graphic+ web design is a fuzzy area.
if you give the customer any physical work (a CD or prints) then some interpret the law as saying you must cahrge sales tax because it is no longer a service, it is a product.

I've been charging sales tax for design services for over ten years, but still haven't found a clear interpretation anywhere about whether it's necessary

Is this the same as VAT/service tax? Depends where you (and your customers) are...

supes, how do you charge sales tax for printing if you arent the printer?
do you pay for the printing up front and charge the client with a mark up?

bonseff, you get a re-sale license then you don't pay sales tax. Pay cost on the product then apply a markup on the product and then figure the sales tax from there.

i'm too cheap for that sort of formality.
i usually include a formal appology with my invoice.
