When is a painting contractor in NYSsuppose to charge sales and use tax? A legitimate painting company working in New York will be licensed, have a tax i.d number, have a federal employee i.d number, and have insurance. Ask your potential house painter if he can show you valid proof of all of these. If the painting company can not show you documentation that they are a legal company to work in NY, then do not hire them, as there can be problems down the road. If you are a non profit organization then you will be tax exempt and not have to pay NYS Sales and Use Tax on your painting project. |

Not all estimates are going to include the same materials, coats of paint, prep work, caulk and labor, that's just a few examples.
