FAQ

Should I be charged labor sales tax on my project?

As of October 1, 2006, the state of New Jersey requires that all home improvement contractors charge sales tax on labor for non-exempt home improvements.  Typically these non-exempt improvements include repairs and any work that only sustains the value of a property and does not raise the resale value.  Exempt capital improvements are most improvements that will lead to an increased resale value.  For more information on this topic, see 'More on sales tax' on the downloads page or visit the NJ department of taxation website.
