    General contractor receipt FAQ

    Do I charge sales tax on general contracting work?

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

    Lien rights?

    Yes — preliminary notice required in many states. Track in Glo Invoice.

    Deposit limit?

    Many states cap at 10% or $1,000. Check your state law.
