1. Utah-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 4.85% state rate. Most services rendered in Utah are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 4.85%; combined 6.1-9.05%.
- Late-fee cap: Utah statute Utah Code §15-1-1 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.
- Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Utah get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. Civil / Mechanical / Electrical Engineer (PE) line items + standard terms
Every civil / mechanical / electrical engineer (pe) invoice in Utah should itemize work clearly. Standard civil / mechanical / electrical engineer (pe)s use Net 30 terms with a 25% deposit required upfront.
