  • Sales tax line: 6.00% state rate. Most services rendered in Pennsylvania are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 6%; Allegheny +1%, Philadelphia +2%. Many services exempt.
  • Late-fee cap: Pennsylvania statute 41 Pa. Cons. Stat. §201 caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month. Spell out the rate in writing on every invoice and in your contract — courts won't enforce undisclosed fees.
