Yes, I was saying I pay somebody else's sales tax out of my pocket (essentialy lowering my profit margin by 6%-7% depending on the county I'm in).
No, I would not do that on larger jobs. I think most people understand that this has to be part of the cost (even as they dislike it as much as I do). I could just include it in the original bid, but I want to make sure they recognize that portion of the cost has nothing to do with me - it is our government taking their money...
