VA doesnt tax prescription eyewear but somehow our local town has found a way to collect tax from our office on glasses sales.

WV doesn't tax Rx glasses, but we do planos or frame only. Of course our state has figured out a way to tax us for it, called Broad-Based Health Care Related Taxes. Sheesh, And we have Use Tax we have to pay on any lens we surface.

Subd. 6. Hearing aids and prescription eyewear. The tax liability of a person who meets
the definition of a health care provider solely because the person sells or repairs hearing aids and
related equipment or prescription eyewear is limited to the gross revenues received from the
sale or repair of these items.

In Ca, the consumer doesn't pay sales tax on rx eyeglasses. We pay sales tax to frame and lens vendors at the wholesale level.
To those of you in states that do not charge sales tax...do you pay sales tax when YOU purchase frames and lenses?

In Mississippi prescribers pay sales tax through their wholesalers on wholesale cost only (we wouldn't want them to appear to be merchants would we?)
Now us independents (described as non-prescriber owned) must collect 7% sales tax at time of sale.
