Hi Gang,
I am finally at the point where I can interview with registrars for contractual employment, and I’d also like to do some consulting work on my own in the future from time to time as the opportunities present themselves.
I’ve obtained a: "Single Member LLC" including an EIN tax ID number, and I even have business cards printed.
I sat down with a tax accountant, and was told that best thing to do would be to just file my taxes under schedule “C” and call it a day rather than try to do the whole sub-clause schedule “S” stuff which gets complicated.
My question (for all of you that have done this for years) is simply this:
Do people in our profession that double as consultants charge companies sales tax?
I was always under the impression that consulting fee’s didn’t fall under the guideline of charging sales tax. (of course I could be wrong)
I had a very frustrating conversation with a woman at my local Department of Revenue office today.
Upon asking me to explain what type of work I would be doing so she could categorize the business correctly she seemed to be completely lost.
She didn't understand: AS9100, registrars, certification bodies, aerospace audits, or consulting for Aerospace companies, and she kept insisting that I would have to categorize myself under the “Business Management Consulting Services” code which requires charging clients sales tax.
I’m absolutely fine with this if this is correct, but I walked away having this nagging feeling that the woman didn’t quite understand what I was trying to explain to her regarding the nature of the work.
Probably because she kept cutting me off in mid-sentence every time I tried to answer any of her questions.
At present I haven’t committed to anything with the Department of Revenue, and I explained to her that I would be back after I did some more research on the matter.
So if any of you seasoned experts in this field could give me some guidance I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance…….
