Job Costing can provide the information needed to track and report the costing tax type called Use Tax. In some states labor and other services are not subject to sales tax. This creates a concept the jobs can be lowered in price by applying to tax to the cost of the item instead of the amount for which it is sold. The argument is that the customer through the landscaper is responsible for the tax on the items installed but not on the labor that it takes to install the item. If you further argue that all materials are not marked up but installed on the customer site with tax free labor, then tax is calculated on the the materials not the total installed price. 

This concept must be justifiable by your accountant and each unit of government could have different rules but it can make a significant difference in the bottom line of an estimate. This means you will get more jobs because the can be less expensive than your competitor. If a competitor buys a $10.00 item and installs it for 100$ the tax at 8% is $8.00. You could install that item using the use tax concept for $100.80 if you used use tax. This gives you a $7.20 advantage over your competitor. 

Check with your accountant, tax attorney and state sales agency to determine if use tax support could be of benefit to you when bidding jobs. UDS support can tell you what use tax will do (calculate tax on the item cost and add it to the price of an item) but we do not know if you can rightfully use this method in your location. This could be a tremendous benefit to your company. 

The report samples displayed in these examples are captured directly from the report program that generates the report. Built into every UDS report is the ability to view it on the screen or place the report directly into Word or Excel format if those applications are available on your computer. Export it into one of several other file formats is available, too.
