No.

In Kentucky automotive washing and waxing is exempt from sales tax. But a dealer deducted 6% sales tax from the invoice I sent them for detailing service and paid me 6% less than what they owed me. Are they allowed to do this? Even if detailing service was taxable here it would be my...

Well the owner wasn't there when I took the SUV back but the manager said I'd have to bring in an invoice in order to get paid and then I could see the owner about the detailing I did on the SUV. The manager looked surprised when I told her I was asking $125 so I didn't bother to go back I just...

OCD! Obsessive Compulsive Detailer. :welcome:
