Also, if either party is audited and it shows that sales tax was "included" or not charged, they'll likely audit the other person and tax both. Had a customer who was a tax attorney and he was the source of a lot of good info that comes in very handy when dealing with customers.
Are you kidding? One of us would be so stupid as to state "sales tax included," then not back the tax out of the total and pay it? No matter what you think about bureaucrats, they're smart enough to catch THAT!

They like to collect form deadbeats, but let one of them be the deadbeat, and it's a completely different animal.
We had a client whose job was to negotiate settlements. Nice enough guy, everything was fine, but when it was time to pay he actually started shaking and broke into a sweat as soon as he picked up his checkbook.
We did a job for a director who managed to get a joke into one of his movies: "A kid installed all this stuff. It cost me thirty thousand dollars and it's never worked." The system we installed cost sixty thousand dollars and it always worked.
