I don't know about California, but in Utah you tax everything that is on the invoice... so that would include all fees... unless I wanted to do 2 separate invoices...

A buddy of mine recently asked why we were charging tax for everything, as he builds houses and said he doesn't charge tax on his labor.All the supplies are purchased without tax so you need to charge tax on the final sale.
When you go to Sears and buy a shirt do they charge tax on part of the garment? No. In California you charge tax on the entire job. If you don't and get audited you will have to make up the difference.
Right on, I see your point on "tangible". I'll look into it more. I would rather have less tax money in my hand to be responsible for, requiring discipline is all. That way it would be easier to keep my hands out of it, lol.True but some states make you tax thing that are "tangible" (I believe that's the term) that means anything that you can pick up and move with you to another place I have to tax even on my labor. My day job is construction, and I used to do handyman stuff on the side. If I worked on someone's deck I didn't have to charge tax on my labor. If I worked on their swing that sat on their deck I did...
Plus you don't gain anything by not charging tax on your labor for screen printing... sure the consumer would pay a tiny bit less... but they don't care.. they see tax and that's normal.. it would be a pain to separate labor and materials on every invoice in my opinion anyways... because with all my prices my labor is built into my price...
