How about clients that wish to be invoiced to their office or second residence in another destination based state? The responsibility to pay the sales tax is on them and not you to charge them. This is somewhat common here being so close to NY.
Don't your invoices have two places for address? One is the billing address and the other is the job address. You write it up with those two addresses, thereby telling the truth, and you add the sales tax because you, the seller, are responsible for collecting the tax for things sold in your state.
Clients don't have Buyers Permits, which force them to pay sales tax. We have Sellers Permits, which
a) require us to collect sales tax based on quite clear definitions of location and law, and
b) show that the tax collecting people, like most of us, don't know how to use apostrophes properly.
