Does anyone know if bands are supposed to charge tax. Some places say it's included. Other places say there is no tax because it's a service. One company wanted to charge an administrative charge. And what about DJ's. Do they charge tax?

My band either didnt charge tax or had already included it in the price.

I'm not sure, I think they charged me tax.... I'll have to check when I get home.
OR maybe it was just gratuity they added on and the tax was included. Sorry, I guess I'm not much help.

I can not be certain of this. But I believe that this was brought up in Vendors Helping Brides quite a few months ago. If I remember correctly, quite a few of the musical vendors on this site said that there should be no tax. Do a search on the topic just to be sure though.

My band told me they do not charge tax because it is a service.
'Anyone who mentions the word tax, administrative fee, etc in a contract is definitely someone you should avoid. There is no tax on performing services- either DJ or Band services. '~Stan Wiest~

Thanks for the info Debbie. I thought there was no tax but after speaking to entertainment companies I was not sure. Wow this board can be useful.

Not a problem, glad I could help. If you really like the company but they are charging you that fee. Call them out on it. Ask them specifically what it is, who it goes to and then remind them...your providing a service and I am already paying you. If they don't waver....go to someone else.

Djs do not charge tax - they are considered a service.

Every band I've seen so far said they do not charge tax because it is a service.

Re: bands, DJ's charging tax?
I never heard of bands/djs charging tax. ther is no such thing as an entertainment tax. All the bands i met with never said anything about taxing us. I wouls stay away from any entertainment co. that wants to charge you tax
