One of the many questions we get is about sales tax. A lot of people (especially from out of state) think of Maid Service as a labor service like moving which is not required to charge and pay sales tax to the state. In Texas, however, that is not the case. Texas considers having a cleaning service a luxury and it is subject to both state and local taxes. Sorry guys! I wish I didn’t have to charge it but if I don’t I still have to pay it! For more information check out the link below!!

If you’re searching for clear answers about sales tax on cleaning services in Texas, you’re not alone. Many homeowners and businesses wonder if their house cleaning, maid services, or janitorial cleaning are subject to tax. In Texas, not all cleaning services are treated the same way. For example, residential cleaning services are generally taxable, meaning that companies must charge sales tax on labor. On the other hand, certain specialty cleaning or one-time services may have different tax implications depending on the situation.
At The Maid Place, we make the process stress-free by providing transparent pricing that already factors in applicable taxes. This way, you don’t have to worry about unexpected costs and can enjoy a spotless home without confusion.
