tax? how?

[refurbish]

can anyone out there that owns their own business try
to explain the procedure to me?
I'm just about set to start my business,but I need to know
how the tax procedure works.
how do I tax wax? by the amount I use ?
the D.O.R. sent me the form that explains how it works
(sales tax and use form)

but I'm totally new to this,and its very confusing (like trying to
read the chinese writing on a pack of firecrackers)
any thoughts would be appreciated.

I don't charge tax. Most service type businesses don't. Then I take all my numbers to my accountant and he tells me what to pay the uncle.

If you sell the product over your counter, you will need to tax it, but if you are just using it, then it is a tool of your trade, and a write off-save the reciepts

As far as i know.

Every area is different. If you are selling a product, you need to charge tax for it. If you are providign a service that is making a physical change to something, such as construction type work, you need to charge a transaction privilege tax. If you are detailing or providing a service that is not making a physical change to something, such as Detailing, pressure washing and power washing, you do not need to pay a tax in my area.
If you still have questions, you can go to the tax licensing department, or call them on the phone to see if you need to charge tax. They are usually really good, and honest about it.
