re: Sales tax on lawn care?

the law changed and service is taxable. Some services are exempt but the list is shorter now

4.The sales of certain services as defined in Revised Statute 47:301(14). Those services are the furnishing of sleeping rooms by hotels; the sale of admissions to places of amusement and to athletic and recreational events, and the furnishing of privileges of access to amusement, entertainment, athletic, or recreational facilities; the furnishing of storage or parking privileges by auto hotels and parking lots; the furnishing of printing and over printing; the furnishing of laundry, cleaning, pressing, and dyeing services; the furnishing of cold storage space and the preparation of property for such storage; the furnishing of repairs to tangible personal property; and the furnishing of telecommunications services.




Do I have to collect sales tax on charges for labor?


Under certain circumstances, labor charges are taxable. Labor to fabricate or repair movable property is taxable. Labor charges to construct or repair immovable, or real, property are not subject to sales tax

So roofers & yard guys = no sales tax?

Do lawn care companies in Louisiana have yo charge tax?

I don't know.

But it shouldn't matter if the company charging tax is still the low quote. Why should you care if someone is charging $3 labor and $17 tax and the others are charging $21 flat cost? The final $20 cost of the first company is all that matters.

It's like pricing stuff online; It doesn't matter how high or low the shipping charge, if the total cost is still lower than the total cost of everyone else.
