Contractor sales tax in Wyoming

Do contractors charge sales tax in Wyoming?

In Wyoming a contractor is treated as the CONSUMER of the materials they build into real property. That means the contractor pays sales tax when they buy the materials, and does not add sales tax to the customer's invoice for that work — the tax is already inside the price. Wyoming also has county, city or special-district rates on top of the state rate, so the rate depends on where the job site is, not where the contractor is based. Source: Wyo. Stat. §39-15-103 (services for the repair, alteration or improvement of tangible personal property are taxable; real property contractors are the consumers of materials).

How Seayora uses these rules

Seayora computes the deadline this rule sets from the tenancy’s own dates, shows it on the lease and the deposit statement, and reminds the landlord before it falls due — so the answer above is not reference material sitting beside the product, it is the rule the product enforces.
