Tile contractors typically pay tax on materials (tile, thinset, grout, backer board) while installation labor may be tax-exempt. Demolition of old tile and disposal fees vary by jurisdiction. Natural stone tile may have different tax treatment than ceramic or porcelain. EstimatePro's per-item taxable toggle handles mixed tax scenarios.
