Am I supposed to charge taxes on the work that I do? I heard that you only add tax if an actual CD or printed piece is physically given to the client. I have a client (lets call them the XYZ Network) who was looking for a corporate branding template for their DVD packaging. I did the work on spec and they agreed on a price, am I supposed to just charge them the price I quoted or can I add sales tax to that? What is the industry standards. Help please.
Only asking cause I owe 8,000 in taxes this year. Yuck!
Oh and I am and my client is American based so Im looking for information from US designers, since this is regarding US tax laws (sorry all you international designers but thanks for reading anyways)
