If you are providing both goods and services, some parts might be taxable (usually goods) and some not (usually services). You might be obligated to buy goods "for resale" and then collect the taxes yourself. Or it might be sufficient to buy goods at retail and accept reimbursement. The laws about this are complicated, will not likely get simpler, and will vary considerably based on locations and even industry. Ask a lawyer and Tax specialist. | |
