Sales tax wasn't paid when the material was originally purchased?

This is New Jersey. Take raw goods you pay the provider sales tax on and turn it into a product that you sell and collect sales tax on and then give the state their cut. I guess it's 1099 income. My accountant took care of it and all I did was write the check.

The copper thieves are killing us right now . We have had 5 substations hit in the last 6 weeks . The idiots are even cutting the XO lead on the transformer . We keep wondering when somebody is going to go into a sub. and find a " crispy critter " .

yeah. let's float the neutral, for about $5 worth of rabbit.

if they realized how much bare 500 mcm is in the grid on the substations,
you'd see lots more 4x4's with a winch on them.....

last substation i did was two football fields in area, and had 3 miles of 500 mcm
buried a foot deep in the rocks.... that's a lot of weight.....
