Here in Indiana, Labor is not taxed. Yes, I break it down on the receipt, but nobody ever asks why the film is so cheap and the labor so much.

If they do, I'll just tell them that I'd be more than happy to charge more for the film if they want to pay more taxes.

YOU CAN PAY IT OR YOUR COUSTOMER CAN. we charge tax on the complete job. never had any complaints because that is the way its suspose to be in KY. subject thoughly researched with the state and accountant. breaking it down would be a real hassle. :lol

Our province is wacky...if I tint an automobile..it's 15% taxes!(7% GST + 8% PST )

If I tint a building or home...it's only the 8%GST

What's the difference you ask ?

One set of windows is mobile...the other set of windows is secured on foundation :lol:lol

In Texas my interpretation of the tax code suggests the following. On automotive we are considered remodelers, so we have to collect tax on the full job, parts and labor (see Rule 3.292). On residential we would be contractors and we would not charge the customer any tax, but would have to pay tax on the film when we purchase it (see Rule 3.291). On commercial we would be considered remodelers of nonresidential real property and would have to collect tax on the full job (see Rule 3.357). I gather from this thread others in Texas don't share this interpretation of our tax code? Would love to hear your thoughts.

in cali I thought there was no tax on tint because I pay it when I purchase it, but the state board of equalization notified me about two months ago that if my materials are more than 10% of the total cost on an auto that I should be charging tax. So if they get pushy I'll have to prove to them that my tint doesn't exceed 10% of what I charge. that sucks!!!

How it works here is simple...if the windows move (eg. auto) it's 15% taxes

If the windows are stationary (eg. house,building) it's 8%taxes

I charge sales tax on autos only...no tax on residential or commerical. I was told that if it is considered a perment item being installed no tax...

:dunno Same here

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
