Can I ask a stupid question?
I have not been charging tax (6% sales tax) to my rate so far.
Should I start saying "US $ xx.xx per word + 6% tax" from now on to all quotes in the future?

Thanks.
Yuko

Hello Yuko Nov 20, 2010

Simply include it in your rates and add a note "Sales tax included" to your invoice. May I ask a personal question? Why on earth are you charging proofreading rates for translation work? In the United States and for your language pair? Triple it.

For example, in NY state, where I live, translation services are not subject to sales tax.
