When Doing Work For Tax Exempt Church, Should I Still Include Sales Tax For Materials I Buy To Do The Work?

January 3rd, 2010 by admin | 2 Comments | Filed in life logistics

I’m a small contractor in Texas. I’m bidding on a project for a Church that is Tax Exempt. I won’t charge the tax to perform the project, but what about the materials I buy? Will the tax exempt form clear me from having to pay for taxes on them, and how what type of paper work in involved when doing the books? Thanks.

How Can I Compare My Current Tax Exempt Salary And Benefits To Job Offers Back In The States?

September 11th, 2009 by admin | 2 Comments | Filed in life logistics

I am trying to find out a way to compare my current NET income to what I could potentially NET back home. All of the salary comparison websites do not accurately calculate my tax exemption status and cost of living (lower) here in Germany.
My guess is that I’ll need to almost double my salary as I’m not paying most taxes here in Germany. Here’s some more info about my situation.
1. Income tax exemption - I don’t pay US or German income taxes. I’m exempt from both. I’m not paying US state income taxes either. This probably saves me at least 30% every year.
2. Sales taxes - I only pay sales taxes when I eat at a restaurant or shop for groceries on the economy (a german grocery store). I mostly shop at the commissary on base…and they sell everything at cost…you can’t get groceries cheaper anywhere else. All other goods (utilities, clothing, cars, electronics, etc) are tax exempt. I prepay for gasoline (current US national average price without sales tax).
Any suggestions?
