Small Business - July 2007

What is the legal way to pass the sales tax paid for items on to your customers? Example: I am contracting to do a construction job. I purchase the supplies and complete the job. When the product is completed, and the customer is billed for supplies and labor, how do I include the sales tax I paid for the supplies in the final invoice?

I am thinking about becoming a mary kay consultant, but just to get the products for less!
I do not want to sell, but use it myself!
Can it work?
Anyway, how does it work? Is there a minimum I have to order from time to time? How much less would it cost to get the products?
Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

I talked to a wealthy friend of mine about ideas for business. He advised me to begin like he did - by dumpster diving and scouting yard sales. Very little cash output, choose only quality items, clean it up or mend it a little and sell it at your own yard sales. I have another friend who finds amazing things in the dumpsters - she has playhouses, riding toys, etc. for her children - they look new, but she got them out of the dumpster and just cleaned them up. So, whats the opinion on this? Is it too degrading? The first friend I mentioned now runs an entire swap meet, owns several homes, nice cars, etc. (It took him about 10 years, though, to get on his feet).
Also, I am not planning to quit my job for this. :-) Thanks for your input. BB.

My dad and his friend currently are employed as painters. They have been painting for about 20 years. I told my dad that he could probably get contracts straight from contractors because of his experience. He said he would, but his English is not too good. I told him I would try for him, but I don't know how to begin. How do I begin? Do I just start calling general contractors and Realtors and just ask if they need painters until someone says yes?
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

My ebay account got suspended for one year of Trademark Violation, which is funny. I never violated a Trademark. Few days later, my PayPal Account got closed without any reason. Is there a legal way to get both back or can I consider myself finished and done??? Can I get a Lawyer and sue both??? Please advice.

There are several sites, statistics and quotes from authors that I wish to use on my website--with complete and proper credit and disclosure of course.

Is it legal to do so without consenting the authors--but simply giving them full credit for the information?

For instance: According to Jane Doe in the book "I'm Happy to Know Everything", the average length of time a boat should float is 1-7 years.

Or something of that nature. Full credit, named sources,etc.

Thank you for taking the time to answer!

I bought a digital camera yesterday from a second hand shop. i tested it in the shop and it worked fine, so i paid for it by cheque. however last night after about using it for 20 odd minutes it kept switching itself off. the battery was full. Each time i tried taking a picture it just died.
I need a camera for the weekend and i'm just wondering how the shop is going to refund a cheque. Does anybody know?

Dustin Clemens, the accounting and finance manager for a manufacturer. At year-end, he must determine how to account for the company's contingencies. His manager objects to Clemen's proposal to recognize an expense and a liability for a warranty service on units of a new product introduced in the fourth quarter. His manager says, "There's no way we can estimate this warranty cost. We don't owe anyone until a product fails and it is returned. Let's report an expense if and when we do any warranty work."

How would you defend Clemen's proposal?

I am approaching 62 years of age, my son is in college. I have a small janitorial business that my wife and I work part time along with three part time employees. I also work part time three days a week as a building inspector for the city. I am considering taking social security at age 62. I know I am allowed to earn 12,000 per year with out paying back taxes. I have felt it best to get the business out of my name and receive a small check. Have my son operate the business and keep my part time salary low. Are is it best to continue as sole proprietor and pay taxes on net profit.

I'm a single member LLC. I'm involved in several businesses. 1) photography- actual business involvement trying to sell photos 2) real estate- expended money actively searching and reviewing income producing real estate investments and 3) invested small portion in an interest bearing note yielding only interest income for now. May be converted to equity stake. To keep it simple for now, can i consolidate all the expenses incurred to search for realestate and buying photo equipment under the same LLC? So far, only received interest income and minor income from photo sales which have not exceeded the expenses to date. thanks

Lets say I would own a game store right. That store is a franchise. Now is it illegal to open up your own and buy some of the same goods from the same source as set up for the franchise? The source for goods for the franchise are not branded towards the franchise, they are just a source.
