Some states charge sales tax on DME (durable medical equipment) and some don't. In Utah, we do because we do nothing but elect certifiably insane nut jobs to bash out our tax code. :) At any rate, my question for the collective today is this:
If a managed care plan such as VSP or EyeMed requires a "material co-payment" in addition to the lens feature co-payments, should that "material co-payment" be taxed as well?
My answer has always been an unequivocal yes. As here, all DME goods are taxed, and in fact, there's even a specific line denoting prescription eyewear and contact lenses are never to be tax exempt. We do not tax exam or any medical service charges, and therefore do not charge tax on exam co-payments.
I have a co-worker here however, who doesn't collect tax on the material co-payment, thinking that it is somehow separate from the other material charges. I believe this is in error.
What's your take oracle? :)
Sales tax - DME: She taxes me...She taxes me not?
