NH doesn't have sales or income tax. We do have quite healthy business and property taxes though.

Ha! Come to NJ with sales tax, income tax and the highest school and property taxes in the Nation! Professional services are not taxed but the business taxes are no joke! I had my own business here during the recession and was actually doing well until the ACA kicked in and the State was reaching deeper into my pocket. I found a good Department Head position and sold the business so I didn't have to deal with it any longer but here I am now, part owner of the firm I took the job with! LOL! This time around it's not all on my back!

I only charge it on boundary work ...topo and elevation certs are exempt
Elevation Certs, need to be taxed if they are going to be used for insurance, so Mid and Finals needs to be taxed. Topo are exempt unless they are tied to a Boundary then you have to charge tax for the topo along with the Boundary.

You may want to check on that, I have a friend that they charged years and years of penalties and interest on some similar services in Texas
I don't call it a topo if it is related to the boundary... that is a boundary & improvement survey = taxed
I can't find where it says an elevation cert is taxable. I have asked a few others and they all say exempt. Can you attach a link? I would much rather admit I was wrong and start charging it now before I get penalized. Afterall, I didnt realize (or was never properly instructed) to get an elevation on the water heater in an attached garage... found that out by reading the instructions...

We called the Texas Comptroller Office years ago and asked them, they said to Tax it. This might have been posted of the TBPLS webpage, but I could be wrong about that. TSPS has been trying to clear up what is Taxable and what is not, however I do not think they are having much luck getting things not to Tax off the Taxable list.
Here is a link to a TSPS update from 2015. On what they wantto tax and what not to tax.

Looks like I need to make a change. Thanks for the heads up
Dare we even open the can of worms on what tax rate to charge?
Do you charge for the property location or the office location, as cities and counties have varying tax rates...

That will add another 30 minutes worth of prep time for each invoice

What do the Plumbers do? We need to follow their business model since they make the big bucks and no one questions what they charge.
Tax is applied when you are surveying to locate the boundary and tie into the boundary and locate and set monuments.
All other surveying, topo, physical features and grade stakes are not taxable.
Many organizations have a tax exemption status, non profit operations, co ops and they must be listed with the state and bear a tax exemption number issued by the state.
The State Comptroller will notify you of any tax rate changes and when to being to apply them.
