Q: Do contractors charge sales tax on labor in Washington State?

Business and occupation tax: Washington&#039;s business and occupation (B&amp;O) tax is levied on the gross receipts of business operations. This means there are no deductions for labor, materials, taxes or other costs of doing business.

Q: How much money should you give a contractor up front?

You shouldn&#039;t pay more than 10 percent of the estimated contract price upfront, according to the Contractors State License Board.

Q: Should contractors ask for money up front?

A: It&#039;s not uncommon for contractors to ask for a down payment up front to secure your spot on their schedule or purchase some of the job materials in advance. Asking for more than half of the project cost up front, though, is a big red flag.I recommend tying payments to progress made during the job.
