Dear Gritty VA:
As a Virtual Assistant, do I need to charge sales tax on my services? –AM
It’s not really a good idea to ask other Virtual Assistants this type of question as their answer may or not be accurate, especially given that the laws and requirements in one country, state or locality are going to vary and not necessarily be the same as those where you operate. Your reliance on inaccurate information could then put you in noncompliance and cause you problems, maybe even get you into hot water.
What you want to do instead is ask the appropriate governing agencies in your state and locality. That might be your state’s Department of Revenue (or equivalent) and your city or county tax and licensing departments. Whatever those agencies are, they will be the place to get the most accurate information on the matter.
Thanks for commenting. Yeah, the virtual assistant term is really completely idiotic to...
