What is included in sales price?

Sales price includes:
Cost of materials used;
Labor or service costs (including service costs for installation); and
Transportation charges.
Sales price does not include:
Service costs for financing (which shall not exceed the legal interest rate);
Service charges not to exceed 6% of the amount financed;
Losses; or
Labor or services charges for installing, applying, remodeling or repairing property sold if those charges are billed to the customer at the time of the sale.
