Why Contractors Need Resale Certificates
Most contractors overpay on sales tax without realizing it. Here is how it works.
Double Taxation
Without a resale certificate, you pay sales tax when you buy materials AND your customer pays sales tax when you bill them. That is tax paid twice on the same materials.
Contract Structure Matters
How you write your contracts affects your tax obligations. Separated contracts (materials and labor on different lines) often let you use a resale certificate.
Real Savings
The average contractor saves $5,000 to $20,000+ per year depending on their materials spend and state tax rate. That goes straight to your bottom line.
