Just FYI: DJ Services

Just FYI: DJ Services

DJ services should NEVER BE TAXED!!!

The DJ provides a service, not a product, therefore, there should be NO TAX.

My friend got skunked - her DJ charged her tax on a $3500 package, and she paid it!

Check your contracts, ladies!!!

Thsi is true, even for Limo's. When your providing a service, there should never be tax.

Photographers, videographers, bridal salons, your hall, etc are all allowed to tax you....I'm trying to think of other 'services'.....

yes, i forgot limos! no tax on limos either. Thank you!

Nicole, what about bands?? I mean, they play music like a DJ does-- even though it's live-- does that count too? No tax??

Thanks Tone

I'll check that out-- but I don't think I recall seeing it on there-- it was just the flat rate.

Wow thanks for the tip. Funny thing is that when I hired my DJ I asked him if he charges tax..luckily he was honest and told me no..but imagine if he did.

I believe it's on the NYState website, so you can print it out, and bring it to them.

Let me see if I can find it.
