    Excavation company invoice FAQ

    Do I charge sales tax on excavation work?

    Most US states tax parts/materials but exempt labor. Use Glo Invoice's per-line tax toggle so each excavation line item is taxed correctly. Check your state — a few (HI, NM, SD, WV) tax services too.

    Who calls 811?

    You do. Print the ticket # on every invoice.

    Hit a utility line?

    Document immediately; 811 ticket is your shield if filed correctly.
