I find it interesting that one has to pay sales tax on artwork. In the state of Florida, goods are supposed to be taxable, but labor is not. So, if the better part of a piece of art is labor, why is the whole piece of art taxed?
And, sales tax has to be paid on a piece of art (including the labor), but if you do something for a specific client and they don't pay for it, and you can't sell it to anyone else because it's custom, you're then not allowed to deduct your labor (that you had to collect sales tax on) as a bad debt?
Am I missing something or does this seem illogical?
