Sales tax & the home-office deduction
Two common questions: when you owe sales tax, and how the home-office deduction actually works.
Sales tax & the home-office deduction
Sales tax generally applies to products and certain services, and the rules vary by state — many service businesses don't collect it, but it depends on what you sell and where. The home-office deduction is based on the share of your home used regularly and exclusively for business (by square footage), not simply your rent.
