It didn't make sense to us as the tax appeared to be based on a number larger than materials (or wholesale materials).
You may also see a sales tax when a vendor is selling a product but partners with an outside installation firm that is not related to them.
If you are down to making a selection between two or three vendors, we suggest that you verify with each that this is the final price and there is no additional sales tax, delivery fees, mileage charges, etc. before agreeing to contract for services.
