Why Do You Charge Tax?

Reading Time: 3 minutes Easy Ice Program

State governments across the country require the collection of sales tax on all equipment rentals, leases, and subscription services that includes ice equipment.  State tax codes can be pretty daunting, but this explanation from Florida’s Department of Revenue is very straightforward.

Dependable Ice for Your Workforce

With an Easy Ice subscription, you can ensure your staff always has ice available throughout the day.

As noted in the Florida document, Personal Property for a business is any property or equipment that is movable and not affixed to or associated with the land.  

If you are a Tax Exempt organization (i.e. government, religious, or not-for-profit), simply provide us with documentation of your Tax Exempt status and we will remove sales tax from your invoice. Non-profits are not required to pay taxes on subscriptions.  

The key to your success as a business owner will hinge upon the investments you make.  Location, staff, technology, equipment, services.  Sure, they are expenses, but more importantly they are investments of your capital or your time.  

At Easy Ice, we respect both your capital and your time.  The cost of our service is similar to the cost of owning an ice machine.  The difference with Easy Ice is that you invest far less time and far less capital to subscribe to our service. With Easy Ice, a small up-front payment and a regular monthly fee guarantee the performance of your ice machine – for life.

No more hassles.  No more maintenance bills.  No more repair bills.  No more paying for ice when if your ice maker isn’t working. No more stress related to commercial ice makers!

Our service is reliable, affordable, and easy. Providing your customers and employees with a safe, dependable supply of ice has never been simpler!
