Sales Tax and Discounts on Painting Estimates and Invoices
Tax and discounts are where hand-built invoices go wrong. Set them up once and let them calculate.
Set Your Tax Rates
Enter the sales tax rates you charge. Estimates and invoices calculate tax automatically. Rules for painting labor and materials vary by state; check with your accountant.
Discounts
Apply percentage or flat discounts on estimates. The discount carries to the invoice.
Tax Reports
At filing time, run a sales tax report for the period. The AI Assistant can run it too: “sales tax for last quarter.”
Keep Discounts Intentional
Discounts are tools. A repeat-customer or multi-room discount is fine; random discounts teach customers to haggle.
