[Asterisk-biz] Tax?

[Sean Milheim (iDREUS Corporation)]

Yes,  because it's a service.  There is a very fine line there though.  Call
your state department of revenue and verify this.

The last thing you want is to fail a tax audit.

Right.. like right now we don't charge sales tax (or anything) on internet
access.. but we do on computer repair.. why?  Is it because it is a service?
