One person LLC window screen repair business and PA sales tax

Hello everyone,

I am about to start a home window screen mesh repair business:  You know, if a cat or dog scratches the screen mesh it needs to be replaced.  Sometime these screens get bent and need some hardware on them replaced as well.

My question, in Pennsylvania, is the service I am about to offer--replacing the screen mesh--subject to PA sales tax?  My accountant says no but if I were to fabricate an entire new screen for a window then it would be subject to sales tax.  Can anyone confirm this?  I appreciate any info and thanks!

    @gusscreen  This link would seem to be the relevant documentation:

     

    https://www.pa.gov/content/dam/copapwp-pagov/en/revenue/documents/formsandpublications/formsforbusinesses/sut/documents/rev-717.pdf

     

    That being said, if you already have an accountant, you should ask them to point you to the documentation they are relying on; you are paying them, after all.
