Cleaning services: the tax questions worth asking early
Recurring contracts and part-time staff make classification and timing the two questions that matter most.
Decisions that change the picture
- Moving cleaners from contractor to employee status.
- Signing recurring commercial contracts billed monthly.
- Buying equipment such as floor machines or extractors.
Records worth keeping as you go
- Worker agreements and payment records.
- Contract terms and billing schedules.
- Supply purchases separated from equipment purchases.
Questions to bring to your tax pro
- Are my cleaners classified correctly for my state?
- What does prepaid or monthly contract billing mean for my reporting?
- How much should I be setting aside each month?
